Julien and Karima's place is great: clean, cozy and has everything you need including a functioning kitchen. It's small, but just right for two people. Karima had excellent communication during our trip, messaging about protests, checking in with us, and giving advice on transport. She also left some flowers in the room for May Day which was such a nice touch :) This was my first time to Paris--the only downside for me was that I didn't realize how far out of the centre (ie Saint Michel Plaza area) the place was, which was completely my error not misleading in the add. However, it is very close to a metro station so it was still relatively easy to get around. A great spot!
