Karim is a very helpful host and is a text message away. His place is located in a very good location and is accessible by metro and easy to find walking. The building itself is very nice and has a good functioning elevator (small for one person and a piece of luggage) that functions well till 4th floor then you have to climb one floor on foot so be mindful if you have luggage. Karim’s studio is best for one person or someone who is spending a couple of nights in Paris and needs a place to sleep while discovering the city.
