Karim and Sonia’s place was perfect for us: two travelers who are 60 +/ - . The space was open and airy and we spent time sitting outside to relax and eat (we just took a couple of kitchen chairs out to the front). The kitchen was very very well provisioned and we were delighted to find a nice selection of jams, sauces, condiments, coffee etc. Very thoughtful. The bedrooms were quiet and very cool in that they are below stairs. The shower had plenty of hot water and the hosts left nice toiletries for us to use. The neighborhood (in the 11th) is very quiet and we saw only 3 cars in the Passage whilst we were there, some foot traffic, but no noise at all. Easy to get to via Matro — 3 stops within 10 minute walk. Karim and Sonia are kind and generous and we enjoyed talking with them (they live right there next to the rental unit). All in all, a perfect 5 days in Paris. NOTE: Read carefully the description provided by the hosts, this place spans 4 separate levels and the stairs might not be navigable by every traveler. We had no challenge and were delighted with the way the stairs open the space up for better use. Very clever remodel.
