Recently stayed at Karim's studio in Paris. Great location - close to two metro station's and bus stops, lots of shops, cafes and supermarkets. Also, it was only a 15 min walk to the Eiffel Tower which was awesome. We didn't get to meet Karim, but he did answer our questions. Only drawback were the instructions on how to get there as it is not clearly labelled from the street. Wifi was really good, and the TV worked well. Overall I would highly recommend for a short stay - but not for too long as there is no washer/dryer and it is a bit small. But that did not bother us too much.
