Karim's place is as pictured, and is in a fantastic location. There's lovely places to eat along the canal and the canal itself is a great place too. There's also good transport links, being fairly close to the gare du Nord, and having loads of cheap app rental electric scooters or bikes nearby (and a great cycle lane). Karim is a fantastic host who is consistently within reach and made the stay so much easier for us. I think it's the perfect place if there's two people.
