I never actually met Zhang but the conversations we had online were pretty useful. The person that showed us around the place was very nice. The pictures that he has are accurate but they don't show everything. The toilet for the apartment is in a closet with a sliding door that doesn't close all the way. This means that if you are sharing the room, the other person will hear and smell EVERYTHING you do in there. The toilet also doesn't flush properly so you will get a gross shower on your bottom when you flush. Speaking of smell the bed and the bed sheets have a really weird smell. The bed is also really uncomfortable, it's one of those really cheap spring couches that becomes a bed. There's also mold around the windows. The apartment is also on the bottom floor so people walking by the window can walk in if you forget the window open. The walls are pretty thin so you will hear any angry french couples arguing in that building.

Overall the location is amazing and the host was nice but I would not stay here again.
