When I booked "44 nights in Paris" at Karim's apartment, I thought it would be about long enough and, I wish I could have stayed much longer! I really loved making this place my home.
Karim was a fantastic host, always immediately responsive when I needed anything at all. His partner Prune and Vilma who cleaned for me, were also incredibly kind and helpful.
The neighborhood is really nice, there is everything you need. My stay in Paris was about having a peaceful place to write and cook, and I was so happy to do both well. I wanted a place that was quiet, well located, and safe - this is all 3 for certain. The setting of the home is peaceful and quiet, sooo many grocery shopping options, kind merchants, and close to the Metro for getting anywhere in Paris. My favorite cafe which I highly recommend is Pilo's, just near the Pere Lachaise Cemetery, I spent many hours there!
In my experience, it's so very nice when I'm in a new country and hosts like Karim make me feel like I'm home.
