I stayed with Karina for 5 days over Thanksgiving. She was the most gracious host. She had a breakfast waiting for me every morning. She was available to answer metro questions that I had and offered some advice on what I shouldn't miss while in Paris. I celebrated my 40th birthday while staying with her and she surprised me in the morning with the most amazing chocolate mousse and whip cream tree. It is hard to put into words how beautiful this was. Overall, Karina, is a classy woman and her style reflects that. I would highly recommend staying with Karina. Also, the apartment is located close to metro line 3 making it easy to get around.
