Great apartment for the price - top location just 5 minutes from port clignancourt! Thanks so much!
February 2012Nice apartment. Small, compact and well formed. However, there are a few signs that this apartment is well used by airbnb vacationers. The washing machine was not working on our stay, the dishwasher tablet tray was broken making it difficult to use, the shower head is broken, there are stains all over the couch and the light on the extractor fan didn't work. Other than that Karine is a good host with good communication skills. The apartment is not centrally located but is fairly easily to... More »
We have been with 2 persons in this beautiful apartment in lovely Montmatre with metro access nearby. If we had a question, Karine was responding immediately. We would always love to go there again… next time in Paris. Thanks Karine!
Schöne, gemütliche Wohnung. Ruhig.
Good communication and recommendations. Very nice cozy apartment with lots of equipment. Comfortable bed. Kitchen was good for our cooking needs, and the dish-washer was a bless for our relaxation. Close-by to metro, and Velib station. Just a pity that we didn't meet personally, but all went perfect with email, sms and airbnb msgs.
This is my first experience with airbnb. I stay with my husband and 2 small children (4 and 7 years) in the apartement. Karine is great about responding an questions. The apartment is like you see on the pictures. The situation of the apartement is a little bit strange. The restaurants on the left and right by the enterance were closed. Unfortunately no nice restaurants in the neighborhood. The bathroom is very small. The bed, sofa and kitchen are ok. When we first arrived it was really... More »
The apartment is located near Saint Mande, a train station towards the end of Line 1 on Metro. It is about ten minutes walk to the apartment, including a climb to the fourth level of the apartment building (4th floor America, 3rd floor European). The apartment is located in a nice and peaceful neighbourhood, which feels very safe. The aprtment utilizes its available space in a very efficient manner. The kitchen area is small, but a dishwasher, a cooking range, a washer (which also has a... More »
Staying in Karine's place was great! It was my second time staying there. Lots of space, extremely comfortable, and its has easy access to the best of Paris. Perfect!
We stayed in the apartment for 4 nights and had a blast! Easy metro access and a clean place to stay. We would definitely stay there again.
My first experience.with AirBnB and it satisfy my expectation well, especially my wife. Karine fully equipped apartment really helped us a lot, particularly the kitchen. We do not use the washing machine and the dishwasher, not because they are broken but we do not know how to operate them. The stairs a little steep and small but manageable even with large backpacks. The proximity to Saint-Mande metro, about 5 minutes walking, is very helpful in planning our trip in Paris. Overall the... More »
Hello, Karine is the greatest host we had during our 3 weeks holiday. On arrival when we were dropped at the other end of the road by the taxi, we had to walk long distance with all our baggage & then we had to climb steep broken stares to reach Karine's apartment. We thought we are up to a Scoobidoo type of adventure. All 4 of us were panting at the top of the stares & open the door cursing her. When we open the door all of us were just eating great chocolate which Karine has left for us.... More »
Second stay here and love the great location. 5 minutes from the Metro and it also happens to be a very convenient line. Thanks Francine!
The place is exactly as described. Karine is great about giving detailed instructions on how to get there and her place was what we needed for our short stay. Her apartment is clean and decorated in that hipster vibe, but it's what I'd consider "cozy". Overall a good place to stay that's towards the eastern outskirts of the metro 1 line, but getting towards the action was no problem on the metro.
This was a great place to stay. It was perfect for my friend and I . It was nice to have a fridge and kitchen all to ourselves if we wanted to eat. It's a short walk to the Metro station and it was nice and close to the flea market. It was so nice, I started to think that I'd love to live in an apartment just like this in Paris.
A perfect slice of bohemian Paris. A modern, well-appointed apartment in a building full of old-world charm. Plus a book and art collection that made us feel right at home. Thanks, Karine!
We enjoy our staying in this lovely apartment. It is surrounded by tons of restaurant, and markets. Yet, it is in a quite neighbor. Easy access to Metro (5 mins walk) and CDG (40 mins). We would stay here again.
Great location, easy to find and has absolutely everything you need! We had a wonderful stay! Great communication from Karine made our stay easy and enjoyable!
It was absolutely, fine! Everything Karine had communicated was exactly so. I had a flight diversion to Lille on the day of arrival, so I was relatively late getting there. The flat is compact and stylish, with a good selection of art history books: and all the mod cons one would need. The area is within easy reach of the centre, and there are a few good supermarkets locally.
Nice and cosy apartment
We have the pleasure of our stay at Karina. Cozy apartment with all amenities, comfortable bed. Metro very close - within five minutes, close to shops and cafes. You can reach Montmartre for 15 minutes. The next time in Paris, stop here. Elena and Nastya
The flat was as pictured, though possibly a little smaller than I expected at first size. But it's comfortable and roomy enough for two. There are odd details, like the kitchen sink being placed at a really awkward angle, and a bathroom sink that's too shallow, but otherwise the flat is clean and well-stocked with hangers, detergent for the washing machine, towels, extra bedding etc. A nice touch are the maps of Paris Karine left in the flat, as well as a list of useful numbers, like one for...

We enjoyed our 9 nights stay at Cute 1bedApt. Loved the decoration of the flat, very cute, charming and pleasant. Very quiet, just around the corner is the street with all sort of shops, markets.. It was nice to find in the kitchen already olive oil, vinegar, salt, sugar, coffee, detergents for dishes and clothes, air fresheners, hair dryer, vacuum cleaner, even spare bulbs! (two burned while we were there so it was nice when we saw the spare ones!:) There was free unsecured wifi internet... More »
The apartment is so lovely and stylish! The bed was comfortable and the apartment was very clean! Karine was not able to meet us due to our late arrival, but she has left us detailed instruction on how to get to the apartment from the metro station and how things work in her apartment. The apartment is about 2 blocks away from the metro station, which was convenient to go everywhere in Paris. We had a great time and wish we can visit again soon!
Karine's apartment is definitely the most complete we have ever stayed in. Whatever is it that you need, you will find there. The stairs towards the apartment though would be a problem for travelers with heavy suitcases or those who are not in top physical condition. Other than that, the apartment is perfect. Not very far from the center too as the Metro in Paris is very efficient and no place can be described as far and inaccessible. The Saint Mande neighborhood is quite lovely in itself.... More »
Das Apartement entspricht genau dem was es versprochen hat. Das Treppenhaus mit Sützbalken in dem baufälligen Gemäuer ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Die Ausstattung im Apartement ist einwandfrei. Abstimmung mit der Gastgeberin und Schlüsselübergabe waren sehr unkompliziert und verlässlich.
was in paris for 4 nights and the apartment is so nice.very close the metro station.my friend and i had a very good time exploring paris and definitely recommend this apartment. peace
Un quartier tranquille, un très joli appartement. On a pu arriver facilement dans le centre et à l'aéroport. On s'est senti super. Prenez-le avec confiance.
We stayed in Karine's apartment for 10 days and loved every moment of it, it is close to everything just like is listed. We would highly recommend this cute apartment to over traverlers. Thanks Karine for your great hospitality! JoNell, Cathy and Lisa from Oregon~
hello.we were me and my wife for a week in the apartment. well we had a good time in paris but the bad part was the apartment. the bathroom was very uncomftorble. there was a problem with the hot water which was fixed the next day and karine was reachble and nice. but, when we came at landing to the aparrtment the building was in painting and the apartmwnt was very smelly from the painting. during all week the building was in painting. this is not what you expect when you come to vication...

Really nice place, very homely feel to it A+++
karine is an excellent host in the sense that she always answers promptly to every tiny question the guest might have she is easily reachable and gives various ways of reaching her. however i think that she should renovate her kitchen floor which is in an apalling state , also the kitchen is very poorly equipped,when we stayed there there were renovations done in the building and the staircase was filled with dust and a lot of stuff which the workers needed, maybe karine should have notified... More »
nice and cosy apartment that is away from all the hustle and bustle of tourist attractions. a good 5-10 min walk to the apartment. directions given was clear and we managed to find the apartment with little effort. apartment is clean and equipped with everything you would need for your stay. the only draw back was the narrow spiral staircase and at night it gets pretty dark on the way back.
My wife and myself stayed 4 nights in this apt. Location was not easy to find at first but when we entered the room, we found everything we needed were there. Clean and decorated living room is cozy. I will definitely use this apt again if I visit lovely Paris again.
Super stylisches Apartment. Tolle Gegend, nur 5 min bis zur Ubahn Richtung City. Kann ich nur empfehlen!
Karine´s apartment is beautiful and just like it is shown on the pictures. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need. It can accommodate two perfectly but it is a bit tight for four. The neighborhood is amazing, the people are really friendly, it is really close to the metro station, a supermarket and an incredible boulangerie. My only concern is the building in general since to get to the apartment you have to climb three floors of stairs that look like they are about to fall... More »
Everything we needed was provided, thanks!
Although Karine was on vacation and couldnt greet us upon our arrival, everything worked out great. We were able to get into the apartment and get oriented very quickly without any troubles. The apartment was very nice and looked well-maintained - everything we expected it. Definitely would recommend.
Although Karine was out of town during the week we spent in her lovely apartment, she made sure we had everything we needed and was always contactable via email. The apartment is fantastic and we loved the neighbourhood as it wasn't at all touristy and made our Parisian experience as authentic as possible. It was a fantastic space to come home to every night and would highly recommend it to others. Karine was extremely helpful both leading up to the trip and during our stay. Thanks Karine!
easy check in and check out, nice apartment and close to the tube station. we had a great stay!
Beautiful appartment, nicely furnished and close to the ring. The host will welcome you with a large smile !
Karine has a really nice cozy apartement. I stayed there with my husband and my 5 y/o son and it felt just like home. Everything was provided, Karine really thought it through to make her guests feel comfortable. The place was easy to find and not so far away from the metro station. It has direct connection to almost all major tourists attractions (line 1). Just 5 minutes walk away you'll have the Franprix supermarket, a little bit overpriced (compared to the supermarkets in Holland) but... More »
Great (and quiet) apartment and location - would definitely stay there again! A note to those with lots of (or heavy) luggage... 3 flights of rickety stairs!
Karine's apartment is absolutely gorgeous, right in the heart of montemartre. You can even see the sacre couer from the kitchen window! I loved my stay here, I couldn't have asked for a more charming, parisian holiday. She was very helpful when I decided to extend my stay and there was great communication between us.
Nice and quite apartment, walking distance from metro and lot of shops, you can feel like a Parisienne living here!
If you want a taste of the real Paris, away from all of the tourist traps and dirty hotels, then I would really recommend Karine's apartment! I found it to be a very clean and safe place as a home away from home. The building it is in is quite old but the apartment itself is very modern. The people that live in the other units around the same block are very friendly and make you feel (email hidden) were even invited for drinks at a party going on downstairs on the Saturday night by some... More »
I had a great time in the apartment. Karine is a very helpful host and she answered all my emails and enquiries in details. The apartment is well furnished and very Parisian. I love the decoration of the apartment. Besides, there are many supermarkets in a walking distance. However, the hot water supply is not stable. It is the only setback of the apartment.
The flat is just as good if not better than the photos. We had a wonderful 5 night stay in Karine's flat, it's cosy, equipped and in a great location. Loads of great cafes and restaurants nearby and surprisingly easy to get away from the tourists! THANKS KARINE!
Awesome host. Great communication, very precise instructions and apartment was exactly as described. I would definitely stay here again.
it is very lovely appartment, we had everything we need, karine gave us very detail information about her appartment, we arrived a little earlier, her housekeeper was very comprensible, i loved the Vogue I hope i have more time to read them.
AMAZING apartment! It was perfect for our Paris trip and we wish we could stay there much longer! Simply great!
We had a wonderful stay at Karine's flat. It had everything we needed, it was close to transit and most importantly, quiet. There was enough space for our family of three. We arrived to a clean place , with a little info booklet outlining the neighborhood and main transit options. We would definitely stay here again. Great value!
The apartment is small but very cozy. The location is perfect, typically French neighborhood, quiet, many restaurants and a large supermarket, Carrefour. Abbesses Metro station is very nice to lado.Maud, welcomed us! Karinna is great, and mainly answers all messages quickly. The location is on the fourth floor, why not recommend it for older people.
Charming apartment and well equipped. Very friendly host. We can highly recommend this place!
We had a lovely stay, very cute apartment in a fantastic location! Right near Montmartre. Thanks so much Karine!
The apartment was easy to find, and looked exactly as on the pictures. The comfort was much appreciated after long days walking around Paris. We will definitely reserve there again for our next trip.
Karine' s place was perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood yet with shops and markets and an outdoor market on Sundays. The apartment is easily accesible to the metro and relatively near the main attractions. The apartment was very clean and well stocked. The house manual was detailed and helpful.
Katrine's home was absolutely wonderful. Her apartment was clean, quiet and very secure. She was very prompt in her response back to me and even took time out of her vacation to ensure all was well with our stay. The apartment is small by western standards but our family of four had no difficulty adjusting to the space. When we were in Paris, the weather was cool, so it made our stay in the apartment very pleasant. If it is hot, I think it maybe a bit uncomfortable being on the top floor... More »
Karine's Paris apartment is quaint, cozy, and very comfortable! Well stocked, it would be fabulous for a short or long stay. Karine was extremely helpful with her directions for our arrival and checking to make sure we had everything we needed. The location is fantastic with plenty of shops, restaurants, and easy access to the Metro. We were sad to leave and I would definitely recommend staying here!
The 4th floor walk up was great (84 steps, so expect a workout). Lovely building, apartment had everything we needed for a good stay, Sacre Coeur from kitchen window was inspiring. Only hang up was trying to reach host by phone when we got to Paris to get key. Block texting before you go or you will rack up some serious charges when texts start rolling in (at&t = $20/per 20mb!). Can't make calls in airplane mode and wifi is NOT abundant in Paris. Finally our cab driver let us use his... More »
Fantastic stay - check in was so easy and the apartment had everything we needed and was nice and clean. Karine was so helpful and sent all the details we needed well in advance as well as leaving a manual in the apartment with helpful info
A fully furnished apartment in a very safe suburb. It was a comfortable unit to come back to after each day's outing. Excellent location: close to metro station, shops and restaurants. Karine is a caring and generous host. Karine is always there to offer help. Thank you so much Karine.
We stayed at the "cute 1-bed apt" for 6 days and had a really nice time. The apartment was just as described. Karine quickly responded to our email questions.
We had a perfect stay in this apt. It's literally two minute from the metro, great food, music, bakeries, cheese, wine...etc etc. The apartment is charming and looks as pictured. Great lighting and views of Montmartre from the many windows. The host was so nice and helpful too. Cannot recommend more highly. This experience has set the bar for us!!
what a beeeeeeeeeaaautiful apartment! could not have asked for a more homely, stylish, comfortable and perfect place to stay for my boyfriend and i. the surrounding area is great - lots of cafes and supermarkets and the metro is literally a 5 minute walk with a quick train to all the major attractions in paris. everything karine promised she delivered on and was so amazingly helpful and great with communication. would love to live in this place permanently!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Karine's apartment in Paris. It was nice to have an apartment to come back to after a busy day of sight-seeing. Karine's place is close to a lot of shops and bakeries, as well as some Metro stations.
The flat was the same as described. Kitchen, shower were suitable. Lots of book to read, lots of DVDs to watch. The flat is very convenient for a family with single child. There is no lift, so I advise this lovely flat for fit people:)))
lovely flat close to the Metro , very clean and excellent facilities. A squeeze for 4 adults but fine for 2+ children perfect for a sightseeing trip to Paris. Would highly recommend this flat .
Our stay at Karine's apartment was fantastic! Initially we exited at the wrong train station but after figuring it out we manage to find the apartment and it was actually very easy to find from the Saint Mande Metro which is also perfectly located along the yellow line where most of Paris's main attractions are located at. We simply love how clean and simple her apartment is, but fully adequate for 3 girls who were in Paris for the first time. Karine's kitchen is very clean, fully... More »
We had a great time in Paris and enjoyed our little apartment too. It is quite a climb up to it, but it is well worth it, and the neighborhood is very pleasant and lively, day and night. There is a small shower, but it works well. The towels could have been a bit larger and more abundant, but they sufficed. The piano added to our overall great Paris experience!
This apartment was great! We had a lovely time staying here. The area is nice and a perfect base for exploring the city. It is a stones throw from places to eat, buy groceries and the metro. We didn't get to meet Karine but the check in process was very easy. She also left a handy set of info on the local area which proved very useful. We would definitely stay again if the opportunity arose. Thanks
My husband and I were a little apprehensive about finding our way to Karine's apartment but her clear directions and great location makes it really easy for us to find her place. Her apartment is very clean and conveniently situation. I will definitely stay here again if I visit Paris!
Fantastic little apartment in a great neighbourhood of Paris! We had an amazing time here. Close to several Metro stations so exploring the city was very easy - we even walked down to the river / Pont Neuf in about 20 minutes, very lovely. We were met perfectly on time by our host and let in to the apartment - which was very nice. There were lots of little bars, restaurants, boulangerie's, and patiserie's in the streets surrounding the apartment and the whole experience was very... More »
Karin's place is in a convenient location, with everything you need for a home away from home. If you have any questions she will contact you immediately. We highly recommend the apartment. Thanks Karine...
This place was ideal for our stay in Paris. It's clean and relaxin. Karine was helpful with all the questions we had. I will certainly be recommending this place.
Great apartment. Perfect location to explore Montmartre almost across the road from Abesses train station and really close to many cute cafes, funky stores, great providores and Sacre Coer! Pauline met me on the first day with pastries, coffee and kitchen essentials. She was really helpful with maps and suggestions for places to go. Would definately recommend this to anyone wanting a true parisien experience!
Everything was just great! Perfect place, lovely host - we missed nothing at all.
really loved the apartment :)) everything was neat and tidy and there was everything we needed. also, karine had kindly left notes for us on how to operate the washing machine, and also handy guidebooks/maps of paris. feels like home :D highly recommended!
We stayed at Karine's apartment for the two nights that we were traveling through Paris. Karine made very helpful and detailed instructions for everything. From how to get from the subway to her apartment, how use the washer and dryer, and best times to leave her apartment in order to catch a train, etc... It's in a nice location, not too far from the Pere Lechaise Cemetery (just a quick 5-10 minute subway ride). The apartment is very clean, comfortable, spacious, and organized. Plenty of... More »
great location, quiet, full equiped, placed near subway and bus....15 mn from Le Louvre
Great apartment! Highly recommend to anyone wants to travel to Paris, 10 mins walk from the train station, easy to get to anywhere, shops,restaurants just 10 mins walk, supermarket just around the corner. The apartment is very tidy, plenty space for our stuff, small kitchen, but got everything u need. Karine is very helpful, answer any question quickly, very happy with our short stay!
We loved Karine's apartment! Comfortable, clean and well equipped, the apartment had everything we needed to feel at home in Paris. Close to supermarkets, restaurants and the metro (#1 line). Karine was incredibly helpful and easy to contact - a fantastic host! I would recommend this apartment to anyone, although I would suggest not trying to squeeze 4 people in as we did (but we did get 2 sets of keys, which is super convenient). The apartment is ideal for a couple, and when I come back to... More »
I was unable to meet Karine but stayed in her lovely apt. Her instructions made it so easy to find her place that my family thought I had been there before. There were four of us in the apt, but it was plenty big as all we did was sleep there before discovering the streets Paris. Would definitely stay there again.
Our stay at Karine's was excellent. The apartment was indeed bright and very, very clean. It was well equipped. Karine was very helpful giving us really clear instructions as to how to find her apartment,. access it and she had a folder of helpful hints for making our stay in Paris as easy and enjoyable as possible. Karine even emailed us once we had settled in to see if we needed anything. Her wifi connection was excellent and the locality of the apartment in relation to local shops,... More »
I would recommend this place to my closest friends. The apartment is modern, uncluttered, well-planned. I enjoyed the red sink in the bathroom. Karine has taste and an appreciation for details. Perfect place for one or two persons. It's at the outskirts but easily accessible on the metro 1 (yellow) line.
Karine was an absolute fabulous host, to an absolute fabuous apartment. She made sure everything was perfect before leaving us to our own devices. The apartment is great, with great opening windows for those warm sunny evenngs. With even the basic supplies of cereal and an instruction booket, all the household devices were simple to use. A beautiful home to retreat to after the sights of Paris. If I had the money, would buy this aparment and live in France haha. Thankyou Karine, we will... More »
We had a great time in Paris, and Karine's apt. was very nice. The bed was good, but I did have problems connecting to the internet which may have been my problem? It showed I was connected but could not get the password to work. (I tried maybe 20 times.) I guess in the future it is not a bad idea for us old guys to be shown how to do it. We knew the bathroom would be small, but we have had smaller. The kitchen was nice, everything was great. Bob
nice place, near metro. Karine is great. when we arrived her place, she send us e-mail to ask if we have any problem.
what a nice area! there's a great (and very reasonably priced) organic market several blocks down rue de lagny and numerous boulangeries and cafes (we particularly liked le paris; the food is excellent, modestly priced, and the staff is fun.) a safe, friendly neighborhood where a foreigner's halting attempts at french are welcomed, and you don't have to be fluent to get by. metro line 1 is a short walk, as comfortable at midnight as at 9 a.m., and it gets you to the heart of paris, with... More »
Everything was perfect! The flat is bright and very well furnished and everything you need, you'll find! What a pleasure to watch the sun rising in the morning... The area is great for wine, ocean & nature lovers. We enjoyed ourselves very much. About Karine: she is a wonderful host & she cares for the well-being of her hosts. Every question was answering within the day if not the hour! I highly recommend to book her flat!
Clean, cosy appartment right near a metro stop. Karine was very nice and her appartment was near enough to the center of the city so that we could get everywhere quickly, but didn't have to deal with city noise! The bed and sofa were comfortable and the place had all the amenities we needed. A great first experience on airbnb!
Everything you need, just outside of all the hustle and bustle of mainstage Paris. Plenty of handy amenities and first rate service from Karine. This booking was my first stay at AirBnB and it went flawlessly. She provided information for travel to/from the apt., local grocery stores, etc. I found the toilet area a little small, even for EU standards, but the shower and sink has plenty of room. Highly recommend and will happily stay here next time!
Karine is a thoughtful and conscientious hostess. She answered all our questions quickly and was flexible with our arrival time--we arrived 45 min later than we requested. We are a family with 2 adults and 2 small children, 2 and 5. They actually preferred to stay in the flat and play Monopoly (one of the boardgames Karine keeps on hand for guests) and we had to drag them out to do sightseeing. The kitchen is only big enough for one adult at a time, but it is equipped with absolutely... More »
Lovely host, lovely apartment and a fantastic location, a little hard to find at first, but once you realise where it is there is a metro very near by, making sight seeing easy!
Karine's apartment was excellent! Very convenient location! The apartment is exactly as described and photographed. Karine was great to deal with!
We stayed at Karine's appartment twice and both time enjoyed it. It is clean, comfortable, newly renovated place, convenient for 2 or 3. The location is excellent - just a few minutes walk to the nearest metro, and if you are in a good mood you can walk a little bit longer to the Nation station. Everything is ready for your staying - clean bedding and kitchen supplies. The only feature is that if staying 3 one should accomodate to the rather economic tank of water - but after the first shower... More »
We really enjoyed our stay at Karine's apartment. Everything is exactly as described and it was very easy to find as Karine provided instructions for us that brought us from the airport and right up to her front door. It is in a quiet residential area but there are supermarkets, pharmacy and cafes located close by. The Metro is only a very short walk away and is on line 1 which will take you directly (or with a quick change) to all the major sights in Paris. In general, it is a great... More »
Very clean, very comfortable, very convenient, excellent bed., lovely neighborhood........I would stay there again, Karine is an excellent hostess, very helpful, respectful and accommodating. MAny thanks, Bobe and Leoanard RagouZeos
Great place...great host. We're enjoyed staying at Karine's apartment so much. The place has everything you need and is very convenient to go to places in Paris either by bus or metro. I felt very safe walking alone from metro station to the place at night. Karine has been very helpful to us. Her instruction and direction to the place was very easy to understand. She responded to all my email during our stay. Anyway, to future guests, please use hot water considerately because you... More »
Karine was a lovely host! She responded to my every question quickly and meticulously, which I really appreciated. Her apartment is very CHIC, modern, and well-appointed. She also left numerous maps and resources that made our stay really easy. The building itself seemed to be undergoing some repairs and it was nonetheless extremely quiet and our neighbors seemed friendly. And despite the bathroom and kitchen's size (as others have mentioned), they have everything one needs--even a... More »
A- WONDERFUL... even before arriving I knew Karine was an amazing host. She responded to my emails promptly and provided us with detailed information on arriving to her apartment. The location is wonderful, close to the metro, but in a residential area that is quiet and safe. She provides wonderful resources such as maps and books for her guests to be able to get around. Her apartment is very young and fresh and she has many wonderful art and books for your viewing pleasure. My fiance and... More »
Karine was extremely helpful and very prompt in responding to emails. Her apartment is very conveniently located, being close to the metro and to a supermarket. The apartment is well organized and has a very homely feel to it. The bathroom is a bit small, but easy to get used to. I immensely enjoyed my stay in Paris, thanks to Karine. This is the first time that I used Airbnb and certainly found the experience to be very positive.
Great apartment! Convenient and the perfect size for the two of us. Karine was also great, very quick to respond and lots of helpful instructions. Thanks Karine!
Karine was a very nice and understanding host, who responded to emails and queries very promptly and waited for us even though we were running really late due to the insane weather in Paris when we arrived. The apartment,is fully equipped and wonderfully decorated, with plenty of reading material and guides to Paris which were extremely useful. The scrabble board was also a fantastic bonus. All in all, great value for money.
Karine provided excellent directions on how to get to the apartment. Her communication throughout our stay was prompt and thorough. The apartment itself is clean, well equipped, comfortable and warm. Would recommend this place to anyone! Thanks for an enjoyable stay.
Karine's flat is the most reviewed on AirBnb... but her appartement is also quiet, well decorated, near the metro and close to a supermarket. Karine was smily and very accommodant. A quiet place and a cheerful host : an exception in Paris !
All was excellent, wish I had really gotten to meet Karine, but she responded quickly to any questions or problems with emails and action.
Karine was very friendly and answered all my emails immediately. She gave us detailed directions to the flat that made it very easy to find it. The flat itself is nice and cosy, in a real residential neighbourhood, five minutes away from the metro and various supermarkets. It was great to have access to a fully equipped kitchen and to be able to retreat to this lovely corner at the end of the day. This was my first experience with Airbnd - and will definitely do it again!
Prior to booking and arrival, Karine was quick to respond to inquiries and always responded to emails within a very reasonable time period. After booking, when we arrived at the apartment, Karine was waiting for us with the keys and necessary information about the apartment and the neighborhood. Karine's apartment is exactly as she describes it. It's clean and cozy and in a quiet residential neighborhood close to all the necessary amenities. Karine is friendly and very accommodating. I...

Karine is incredibly efficient and totally reliable. The flat is tiny but clean and functional. We stayed with our two children. The sofa bed is large and comfortable so four of us were easily accommodated. Much better value than a hotel.
One word: Fantastic!
Karine was a pleasure to deal with and her apartment was amazing! Everything my husband and i were looking for on our 5 night stay in Paris. The apartment was clean, cozy and in a safe neighbourhood, it really was our home away from home! Karine suggested the Sunday Street Market which was a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the city! Someday we hope to travel to Paris again and will definately be in contact with Karine ~ Thanks for a wonderful... More »
After spending three days at Karine's place, returning the keys proved difficult because her place is just lovely! Clean and quaint and close to the metro. Retreating here every night after a long day of walking was heaven. You don't share the flat. It's all yours. It was the perfect alternative to expensive Parisian hotels and dingy Parisian hostels. You'll love it.
We would definitely stay here again! Karine was very helpful, and responded quickly to the emails I sent her. Yes, there were multiple, and she was very thorough in answering all my questions. The apartment was cozy, as she said, but we had 2 couples staying there, and it worked out well. The bed was rather hard for my tastes, but I'm finding out that this is a European thing. Their beds are much harder than American beds. This was our first experience with airbnb, and we will... More »
We spent 4 nights in Karine's apartment and enjoyed every moment. She greeted us on our arrival and showed us the workings of the apartment. It is very functional, practical and in good, simple taste. The location near the Metro St. Mande and the Line 1 makes it very handy and easy to get around. The neighborhood felt safe, even at night. We will definitely come back the next time we go to Paris. Pat and Andre Viton, Florida
Karine was just great! My husband and I were in Paris for only 2 days for our Honeymoon, but Karine still welcomed us with a bottle of wine and chocolate. The location was really great with only having to take 1 train to all the sights (Louvre, Champs Elysees, Marais). The neighborhood was very safe and quiet. The flat was tiny, but absolutely perfect for us! The wifi came in super handy with keeping in touch with family back home. We wish we could've stayed longer, but our short... More »
The aparment is lovely and well located. Karine is great! It was everything we could have asked for.
Karine was very helpful in providing information on how to find the place from the airport, what transportation to get, etc. Her apartment is spacious, clean, and is located within walking distance of the farmers' market and the train station too. Just a train ride away from all the places one would want to visit in Paris. Karine stayed in contact to make sure all is going smoothly and was available to answer any questions that we had! Very friendly host. It was convenient to have... More »
Karine always responded to enquiries quickly which was definitely a bonus. Metro station is only a few minutes walk, and the area is really lovely, it was great to live like a real Parisian rather than staying in a hotel. Apartment is cute and well decorated, with all the necessary amenities.
I really enjoyed my stay at Karine's, and her book collection is wonderful! She was very quick to respond to enquiries and she returned my deposit immediately. I loved the neighbourhood the apartment is in, and its proximity to all the sights. Thanks Karine!
We had a really nice time in paris!!! Enjoyed the appartment a lot, really nice and clean.. So if you wanna wonder arround paris you should stay with Karine!! Thanks for everything!!
What a cosy apartment, it felt just like being at home! The apartment is 5 mins walk from the metro station, then just a 10 mins ride to Le Marais and Bastille. Cute neighborhood with all the shops you need just around the corner and a street market twice a week. We saved a lot of money by being able to cook our own food, and the apartment has a big oven and a dishwasher which makes things much easier too. Already looking forward to our next trip to Paris so we can book this apartment again!
Karine was a great host, she was alway quick to respond to emails and very helpful. Location has a very easy access to the metro.
I stayed at Karine's apartment in August and it was fantastic. Everything you could need in the apartment, in the neighbourhood and easy to get anywhere on the nearby metro. Not only was our stay great but Karine also kindly arranged an early morning taxi for us to the airport and was always quick to answer any queries and help us with anything. Thank you so much Karine. I look forward to staying again.
What a great way to experience paris! The flat was lovely, the best value and funkiest flat in paris on airbnb. We arrived and karine welcomed us and answered any qs we had. The flat was very clean and tidy and had everything you could need and more: tv, dvd player, playstation, hair dryer, iron, great books...the list is endless. The sofa is really comfy as is the bed. Karine left out maps and leaflets on the sights of paris. She also left us towels which was brilliant. The area is really... More »
I recently traveled to Paris with my family for 5 days and stayed in Karine's apartment. We picked this location because we wanted to stay in a quiet place and yet have access to the major attractions (Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysses, etc). Ever since we reserved this place, Karine was very prompt in answering all our questions about the place and giving us extra information. In fact she wasn't able to come to meet us when we got there, but she made all arrangements to leave the keys to the... More »
I haven't much to say that hasn't been already posted here, but I really recommend staying at Karine's. The apartment is just perfect. Comfortable, clean, cool and with just about everything you would need. It's a bit off the way, but the metro is close by and a taxi to st michel/st germain(which is quite far) will only cost you 15 euros. Karine is a great host. We didn't get the chance to meet her but she would always respond promptly to any of our questions. Thumbs up!
Staying at Karines made our first trip to Paris perfect! The apartment was clean, comfortable and really well equipt - a great home from home and a wonderful place to come back to after a busy day in the city! Really close to the local metro stop, & 10-15min into centre of Paris. Karine was very accommodating, friendly and helpful, answering any questions we had and returning the full deposit immediately. We fully recommend staying at Karines, and hope to do so again ourselves when next in... More »
Best flat - ever! Perfect location (Sunday farmer's market was simply delightful) by the (in my opinion) best metro line, line 1. There's a bakery, butchers, green grocers and a wine shop nearby which is basically everything you need. The flat was in perfect condition on our arrival - Karine even kindly provided towels which was great seeing as I forgot mine. Bed and sofa are too comfortable for words, kitchen had everything. There are also adapters and a hairdryer. Karine was... More »
We loved staying at Karine's place. While, as others have said, it's not in the heart of Paris, we enjoyed seeing a more residential neighborhood and felt like we were getting a real sense of life in Paris. It's very close to the Metro anyway. Karine was super friendly and helpful, gave us a brief tour, answered our questions, and offered any help during our stay. The apartment is very nice and quiet, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We would highly recommend it.
Had a lovely stay. Karine was there to greet us and give instrutions on the area. Have been impressed by airbnb.om and have been telling eveyone about the service and great apartment. Thank you Karine.
Karine's flat is exactly what I was looking for, cosy yet modern and just a 4 minutes stroll to Saint Mandé metro. Line 1 takes you directly to the marais or louvre which was extremely convenient. Getting my security deposit back was very easy too.
Though we only met her briefly, Karine was very nice and helpful, and her directions from the train station to her place made it extremely easy to find. The Metro stop Saint Mande was a short walk away and made everything easily accessible. Deposit process and refund were simple and quick. Would definitely recommend.
Great location, very close to the metro, deli's, shops etc... Karine was very helpful - we loved the whole experience!
Karine department had everything you need, close to the metro and the bus stop that takes you to the most touristic places of Paris, everything turned out as indicated by Karine who was very attentive and concerned about everything before we arrived, totally recommended at a great price. Karine thank you again
My sister and I enjoyed our stay at Karine's apt. She was always very prompt in her correspondence and issued my deposit back immediately. The highlight was the farmers market near the metro stop on the weekend. Since most brasseries were only serving coffee on Sundays, we ventured through the market and found a number of delicious items. It was fantastic to experience the city as a local might.
My husband and I stayed at Karines Paris apartment and had a great time. Karine was on vacation when we arrived but when we emailed with questions she responded Immediately. She made finding her apartment a breeze with really detailed instructions, which after other apartment rental experiences we were really thankful for. The apartment itself is really great. The bed is really comfy and the kitchen had everything you need for making meals. The bathroom is on the smaller side but still... More »
The apartment was great, newly renovated, just a few min drive from the beach. Karine was very helpful and welcoming. A nice place to stay if you want to explore Medoc region and enjoy some sun.
Karine's studio was very nice as described. The apartment was clean, and you can get to a metro station within five minutes by foot. From the station, you can reach main tourist attractions in 10 to 15 minutes. I would recommend to stay here.
Karine's apartment was great - clean and tidy and exactly what we were looking for. A short walk to the Metro station and within minutes of Paris' core, we couldn't have asked for a better spot!
My husband & I stayed at Karine's apartment with our baby daughter & it was perfect. Very handy to the Metro, a supermarket & wonderful specialty cheese shops. The apartment is funky, she has decorated the small space really well. Karine herself was very thoughtful in her instructions, tourist maps she provided & general communication at any time. We would not hesitate in staying with her again, fabulous.
We really enjoyed staying in Karine's flat. My wife and I were in Paris celebrating our 5 year anniversary. It is a nice flat (clean and well decorated). I honestly was quite nervous about booking accomodation this way, because I never booked a flat before (and had not heard of airbnb until now). We enjoyed staying in a flat, rather than in a hotel room. It was nice having a lounge and kitchen in addition to the bedroom. The bathroom is small, and there is no bath (just a shower), if that...

Karine's apartment was wonderful. It was conveniently near the Metro, and had many great stores nearby, including one selling the "2nd best croissants in Paris." We also appreciated the quiet--not much street noise and quiet neighbors. Karine was very helpful---we will stay here again.
Karine was so helpful and frank. location was good. Metro 1 was convenient to go anywhere. The kitchen was so convenient to use and there was good space for me and husband in living room and bedroom. The decoration of the room was very cheerful to stay in. I would say it is great for the price. One thing, the stairs were hard to pick up the suitcase though. Thanks, Karine. Let us know if you ever come to Tokyo.
Karine's place is located just outside of the centre and my husband and I found it convenient and easy to access via subway. The place is clean, neat, and modern. We really enjoyed having a kitchen and we took advantage of the washing machine. There is a fruit market, bakery, supermarket and restaurants in the area. Karine was very accommodating and hospitable and we would definitely stay with her if we have a chance to visit Paris again.
Karine was a very nice host! The Flat was in a very nice location and easy access to metro! I would definitely stay again!
Wow we certainly loved your french flat! :) It was the likely the best place to stay in Paris and so great to make breakfast and relax during all the chaos of travel. Thank you Karine you are a lovely girl and hope we can book with you next time we are in Paris xoxo
Lovely apartment, four of us crammed in for 3 great days in Paris. Karine is very helpful and the apartment location is very close to the metro. Revenge of the Nerds on DVD...nuff said.
Karine met us at her apartment and provided us with some helpful information. The apartment is on the third floor of a building located off an inner garden/courtyard. It is off the street and quiet at night. The apartment is clean and has all the amenities one needs. The neighborhood is good with a bakery, market, restaurants all within walking distance. The metro is close by. The only drawback, at least for me was the size of the bathroom and shower. It was small and I am a big guy. Someone... More »
My husband, young daughter and I really enjoyed staying at Karine's apartment. It was perfect and felt nice to come home to a real place instead of a hotel. Amazing price as well for Paris. The location was great too. One line with no transfers will take you right to the Louvre. There's a market on Sunday right around the metro that's great for picking up food and little items. Also a Franprix store to pick up groceries closeby. It's so nice to have a separate bedroom. One person can... More »
Karine's place was excellent. A nice and cozy place with a sweet stairwell! And the DVD collection was awesome! Would highly recommend to anyone looking into visiting Paris. Let me know if you ever want to visit Berlin!
karine responds really quick and when you e-mail her she writes back immediately. we stayed in her apartment for just one night but i think with all the dvds and internet connection, it would be a good choice to stay longer as well.
We had a fantastic time...Staying at Karine's flat was convenient and she was very helpful. She responded very quickly to all inquiries before our arrival, and was super flexible with us throughout our stay. Great place.
Karine is a lovely, friendly and accommodating host, and her apartment is amazing! It has everything you'd need, is in a nice area and is perfectly placed for getting pretty much anywhere on the metro.
After the worst journey EVER on the Eurostar, all we wanted to do was rest upon our arrival in Paris. The appt that greeted up made up for the nightmare 7 hr train journey and Karine answered all questions we shot at her via email very quickly. The location is a mere 8 min walk from the station (Saint Mande) and amenities are a stones throw away. Secure, safe and the perfect little hideaway for a romantic visit to this beautiful city. I have to agree with the previous poster, the bed is... More »
This really felt like a second home. The bed was remarkably comfortable, the fridge giant, and the location more convenient than we expected: once on the line 1 getting pretty much anywhere is a snap. Would highly recommend. After the vulgarity of an easyjet flight it was blessed reward to arrive in such a commodious flat.
Cosy, cheerful, clean flat with a great location, quiet and safe but only 15 minutes from the centre by Métro. Karine herself is equally efficient and friendly. Wifi was very useful, as were the supermarket, bakeries and Sunday market, all within walking distance. Recommended.
If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Paris, Karine's place is it. It made our time in Paris the perfect combination of relaxing, convenient, affordable, and easy. We were able to save so much money during our time there by cooking dinner at Karine's apartment, as her kitchen is well-stocked with anything you'll need in terms of pots, pans, knives, oils, etc. We really felt like we could have not done better. The apartment was entirely clean, cleaner than a hotel. My fiance even... More »
I'm quite jealous of this apartment – the design and amenities are impeccable, and Karine (as the photos show) has a great sense of style. There's a big IKEA bed in the bedroom, and a sleeper sofa in the main room; heaters next to each. Everything was flawless and Karine was friendly, efficient, and quick to reply to my emails before arriving. Like everyone says, this is a pretty ideal location, although I'd point out that the (website hidden) Map is way off. As she says in the write up, she's a... More »
This was definitely the best possible accommodation we could have found in Paris. It's in a quiet and safe area but you can be at all the main sites in just a few minutes on the Metro. The apartment is very well-equipped and it's just so cool! We'll be back.
beautiful cosy apartment, perfect for 2 days in paris
Staying at Karine's flat was the best accommodation decision we could have made. Very cosy, comfortable unit with all the amenities one could desire. Added to this was the convenience to the metro and neighborhood stores and cafes. Couldn't ask for more and would highly recommend Karen's place to anyone.
Karine's place was nothing short of awesome. In our two week trip to Europe, it was the best decision we made. She's got a cozy apartment with great style, and it made it feel like coming home. Close to groceries and the metro in a quiet area. Karine also went out of her way to make our stay convenient and pleasant. Had a wonderful time and would easily stay there again if she'd have us. Thanks Karine!
A wonderful experience except for a little trouble with the heater in the room. The flat is close to a metro stop (#1) that goes all the way to the center of Paris in around 30 minutes and Karine was most understanding with getting directions and information regarding to some of the bumps we had during our stay. Will definitely look forward to staying in her complex.
We loved staying at Karine's place. The apartment is lovely and really close to Metro line 1. Highly recommended!
The place is lovely and very nicely decorated. It felt spacious with the bedroom by itself since most places have fold out couch. All of the amenities are there including internet which is a must for travelers who doesn't have a smart phone. It is only a block from the metro station and there's a nice sunday market. It's off the main street so it's quiet at night. Thank you Karine for letting us stay at your place.
Great Flat and awesome location near a metro stop!!
We loved Karine's apartment, so cute and designed well with all the necessary amenities. She was very helpful with travel information for our stay. She is a wonderful lady and a great hostess. The location is on the major number 1 Metro line and a short walk from the station to the apartment. A charming location, the area a mix of modern and quaint. We have already recommeded Karine's place to family and friends and we shall surely try to book with her ourselves.
Really lovely apartment, thank you Karine! Very hospitable, and the flat was furnished perfectly! Especially loved its useful location and had no worries about returning late at night, we will be back again I'm sure!
We felt very well in Karine´s apartment. It´s a very cosy place to stay in Paris, with a easy and close location for the metro.The apartment is clean, warm with a lot of facilities, and Karine was very kind with us.
Thanks for such a wonderful stay Karine. The apartment is great, clean, warm, comfortable. The location is safe and the metro is easy! I'll be back soon!
Beautiful apartment. Fantastic location, easy to get anywhere in Paris. The apartment has everything you could need or want. We would definitely return!!
Nice flat in a quiet court, easy to get there. Friendly and straightforward host. I'll be back on the occasion of my next trip to Paris.
It has been a pleasure both to meet Karine and to stay at her apartment; very close to the Metro station and only 10 minutes from Chatelet les Halles! Highly recommended:)
Fab flat, exactly as it looks in the photos - warm, clean, modern. A great hostess, meeting up was easy, provided the 3 of us with ample bedding and did not have to rush off in the morning! Thank you! We'll be back (and now many of our friends want to do the same)
ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU KARINE! I JUST STAYED AT KARINE'S FLAT NOVEMBER 7TH-9TH... PERFECT LOCATION GREAT SHOPS, SHORT WALK TO THE TRAIN, VERY NICE NEIGHBORS, AND ONCE AGAIN THE PERFECT LANDLORD... FOR FUTURE VISITS, I THINK I'VE FOUND MY PARISIAN HOME!!!!
We had a lovely time at Karine's flat. It was immaculately clean and super convenient (very close to Metro). Bank, grocery store, and cafes nearby. I'd love to stay again and highly recommend it. All appliances were new and modern, which was a nice perk!
We only stayed at Karine's place one night but wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. It was very clean, comfortable and handy to the Metro. There is a grocery store, bakery and some cafe's/restaurants around the corner so it's a very convenient location. Karine was also very helpful with directions. Thanks for making our first night in Paris stress-free!
The apartment is very nice. It has modern furnitures and all the appliances and comfort you need for a great stay. Karine was also very helpful with directions. I would recommend her flat to all my friends, who are planning to go to Paris. Thank you!
My wife and I stayed at Karine's wonderful little flat, we were so pleased with the clean, comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Close to Metro, it was a convenient location. Thank you Karine for being such a gracious host, and going out of your way to give us advice. Next time we're back in Paris, we hope to visit again. We highly recommend Karine's place!
I stayed at Karine's cute little apartment for three nights, and it was perfect!! Very quaint and clean and close to the centre of Paris without being too loud. To boot, Karine was most gracious and helpful. If I was to return to Paris (and I wish to), I hope that Karine would let me stay at her lovely place again.
We stayed at Karine's for 10 days and could not have asked for a more perfect place. Such easy access to all of Paris (line 1 crosses the whole city), great market near the metro, the apartment is super secure, so comfortable, has everything you need and more. Karine was an excellent host by all means. Thank you so much! we would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful time at Karine’s apartment. Location was fantastic and the apartment was super clean, modern and had everything I needed including washing machine and internet. Saturday morning market by apartment was wonderful place to purchase fresh and great food. I will go back again! Thank you.chizuko and Jinn
Karine was a great guest, with fantastic communication. Looked after the flat. I'd recommend her highly.
January 2012Karine took her mother for a quick trip to Madrid. They took good care of my place. Very clean and neat. Karine, it was a pleasure to meet you!! plase came back any time!!! Sergio

Karine was a great guest. She is friendly, and very clean and tidy. Would recommend her to anyone.
Karine was a lovely guest, very friendly and chatty! Communication was great and she left the flat spotlessly clean! I wouldn't hesitate to welcome Karine as a guest again!
Karine was a lovely guest! She kept the apartment very clean and tidy. She is well recommended!
Karine's family is open-minded, the kind of person you like to talk with and share informations; they are easygoing and careful with their environment. I would recommand them.
Merci Karine d'avoir choisi de revenir dans mon appartement ! Toujours la bienvenue !
Karine and her friend were very nice guests. They left the apartment clean and tidy. We recommend them to every host.
Good comminication from the beginning and left the place nice and cleand. Very friendly people is always nice and Karine was a very good guest.
English: Karine is a very delightful person, respectful of the place and curious about its environment. I took a real pleasure to receive Karine in my B & B. I hope she will return in order show her other area in Marseille, there is such to do around here. Français Karine est une personne agréable, respectueuse du lieu et curieuse de son environnement.

Bonsoir Karine, merci beaucoup pour le votre commentaire très valorisant Votre collégue et vous étiez des hôtes très agréables C'est avec grand plaisir que je vous recevrai à nouveau quand vous serez dans la région cordialement Marie-Agnès
Karine was an excellent guest. Very considerate.
Karine is a really nice person. I had the opportunity to meet her and her boyfriend when they stayed at my place in Bordeaux. Really tidy, punctual and friendly person ! She left the flat in a perdect state !
Adorable guests, respectful and nice, punctual, precise, easy-going, they left everything clean and tidy. I's been a pleasure to have them at my place, I would definitely have them soon again! Thanks!
Karine and I have been friends for just under a decade, and I can happily say that she's infinitely reliable and trustworthy. I'm also sure I could rely on Karine for all the insider information in whatever city she might be in, and Paris is no exception. Highly recommended, an excellent vintage!
September 2010I've known Karine for years, and having been a house guest many times, can say that she is a wonderful host, with a beautiful, clean apartment and an extensive insight into Paris. Staying with her is always a pleasure, as she's so laid back and funny- she's the kind of person who'll go out of her way to make you feel welcome and at home.
I have known Karine for a long time and she's a clever and funny person who you can trust .Her appartment is a lovely place which will make you feel right at home !
