I would definitely suggest Karim's place for your stay in Paris. It's a centrally located and comfortable apartment. Close to the metro and a number of sites. The view of the canal is fantastic. The apartment is well decorated with great wood floors. There's also some great restaurants in the area--one is even downstairs. Karim was a great host who stayed in touch when needed and allowed me to enjoy the trip. It would be great to stay here again next time I come to Paris.
