Karim was the perfect host in every way. His response time was great, his willingness to accommodate our schedule was much appreciated and he spoilt us with a bottle of French Champagne on our arrival. His apartment is amazing. We could not have asked for a better more central location. The decor in the apartment is wonderful and as far as we are concerned it's one of the best places to stay in Paris. A very beautiful home away from home. Some of the best restaurants, bakeries and chocolate establishments are within walking distance from his apartment. One of the highlights was the delicious food we experienced in the area. A number of these are listed in Karim's guide book. Some of the must see sights in Paris are also within walking distance from the apartment. The Metro is just 2 minutes away. The hop of hop on Bus stops 5 minutes away which is a great way to see Paris if you are visiting for the first time. If you stumble across this apartment just book it. Don't hesitate. It's one of the most magical holidays we have ever had and when we return to Paris, we will without doubt stay in Karim's apartment. The perfect way to experience Parisian life without feeling like a tourist. My first Airbnb experience was indeed amazing. Well done Karim. You have a shining star in the city of love and lights.
