Karim and Sonia were outstanding hosts. Without their kindness and guidance our trip to Paris would have been much different. They were extremely responsive to our requests and needs. The 11th arrondisement gives space from the hectic tourist areas, and offers opportunities for neighborhood cafes and bars where you feel like a local. The Passage Gustave is a super cute and quiet street that gives a cozy safe feeling as you approach, with almost no car traffic! The apartment was very stylish but I must warn that it may not be the best for families with small children, or people who are "navigationally challenged" as the apartment has somewhat awkward stairs and openings between floors. There is little privacy because all rooms are essentially connected without doors or walls... check out the pictures! For us it was perfect however and I would highly recommend a stay with Karim and Sonia.
