Martine and Karim’s place was situated in a lovely district of Paris, about 15 minutes from Gare du Nord on metro lines 5 and 6. It has a key code entry which made the building feel secure and only one flight of stairs to reach the apartment. Martine and Karim were really flexible with our change of arrival time so we could check in almost a half a day earlier than originally anticipated. The studio had everything we needed for our stay. We found extra surprises like make-up remover, face mask a little iron and a wireless charging table lamp! The fridge was beautifully stocked with water, fresh fruit and even a cake for our arrival! There was also a coffee machine with an abundant amount of various coffee pods and tea as well as sugar, milk and creamers. The overall cleanliness of the apartment was immaculate and the decor very friendly on the eye. We were undisturbed for the entirety of our stay, but Martine and Karim were always on hand for any queries we had, including when we checked out and had forgotten our passports in one of the drawers, Martine had no hesitation in retrieving them and meeting us at the station to reconcile them with us! Many thanks Martine! Overall, we would definitely recommend staying with Martine and Karim and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
