Staying at Karinas place was the perfect decision for my trip to Paris. Her flat is located super central in the buzzing 11th Arrondissement. The Marais, Canal Saint Martin, Place des Voges, Place de la Republique and many other great places of East and Central Paris are just a short foot walk away. Also public transport is just around the corner, you have three metro stations very close and a bus which is directly going up to Gare de l' Est and Gare du Nord.
The building is nice and clean and Karinas flat very lovely. It is bright, clean, cosy and decorated with lots of love. My room was perfect in size, not too big though so it might get a little cosy in there with two people. I even had a view on the Eiffeltower, which was amazing! Besides towels, shampoo and a hairdryer I could use I even found a little welcome-gift from Karina when I arrived.
Karina is a wonderful host, super friendly and always tries to give the best tips and recommendations. She sent me long list of things to discover in the area already before I went on my trip and explained to me a lot on a map when I arrived. Even during my stay I could always ask her for recommendations and advice. Checking in and out is also super relaxed, I spontaneously arrived one night earlier due to airline strikes and Karina was super flexible. Also the communication with Karina via Email and text message is perfect.
All in all I had a lovely stay at Karina's, it was a real pleasure staying at her place. I can highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a charming trip to Paris and who wants to discover the trendiest and buzzing areas and places in Paris where the locals frequently go.
Thanks, Karina!
