The apartment was very clean and well decorated. It is a little bit hard to find because it's actually located in an alley, so it took my boyfriend and I awhile to find it by ourselves. It is very very small and was a little exiguous to stay in for 2 people and also not much room for suitcases. The bathroom was very small as well but the shower was really nice. As for location, there are 2 grocery stores within a block and a great pastry and bread shop across the street. The nearest metro (Combronne) is about a 10 minute walk, but only 2 stations to the Eiffel Tower. We didn't get to meet Karim for very long but he was a good host and quick with communication.
