Karina is a very warm and thoughtful host! The room is exactly as pictured. The first night I was greeted by the shimmering Eifel Tower! Yes you can see the Eifel Tower from the room =) The next morning outstanding french breakfast awaited! Every morning there were delicious pastries meat and cheese. Karina provided a lot of tips, suggestions and recommendations. There is a very nice street market on Thursday on avenue Richard Lenoir. If it was not for Karina to tell me - I would've missed it. Marais area is very nice - lots of restaurants, bars and quiet streets to stroll. Almost every day I walked to river Seine, but you can take the metro at Parmentier and get to places fast. I will definitely stay with Karina again!
