Karin was a very gracious host. She kept constant communication and returned my emails in a very timely manner.
Her studio is immaculate! It is beautifully decorated and extremely clean and tidy. All the amenities were very modern. The kitchen & bathroom were well stocked with all the basics you could think of. The bed was comfortable and quite spacious enough for my mom & I to share.
The studio is super quiet with a calm garden view, yet when you walk outside you walk into all the vibrancy that is Paris. Located in a prime location in the 17th Arrondisment off of Avenue MacMahon & Tiernes, you have an array of restaurants, cafes, & shopping right out your door. Not to mention that it is conveniently located to many transportation modes such as the bus, the Metro & Taxis (literally across the street or around the corner). And the Arc de Triomph is just up the Blvd!
This will have been my 3rd time in Paris & I will have to say that this my favorite place that I have stayed, hands down. I will definitely stay here again. Just a note: the hallway is still under renovation to this date, but once you get over the initial shock, it's not a big deal. =)
