Karim was a fantastic host. He went above and beyond to get a SIM card for my short stay, as well as set it up on my phone. My french level was moderate, and he was patient in explaining everything. Karim really knows what he's doing and I'd highly recommend his place for any traveller who wants a simple place to stay. I spent most of my time outside and felt absolutely safe leaving my things in the apartment.
I enjoyed the neighborhood as well: excellent boulanger (Pichard), great local bar (General Beuret), and a metro station very close by (Vaugirard). It really was the ideal spot for me.
