Ahmed was very helpful and accommodating. When my friends and I asked if an extra person would be okay, he offered to give up his bed and sleep on the sofa!!! He was also very flexible with our arrival time of 8am, which is a lot earlier than most places we saw. He was also just as flexible with our departure time. The instructions to get into the building was very clear and easy.
In the mornings, he offered us tea and coffee. He gave us a quick tour of the apartment and we felt very at home. He showed us how to use the washer and even hung our clothes to dry for us!!!
Aside from that, we still had our privacy and our interaction with Ahmed was minimal as he had work on the weekdays and we were out and about.
The space was very accurately described. The view was amazing (there's an elevator). It was quiet and clean, and sharing a bathroom was not a problem at all. The smell was smoke was intermittently too strong for my friend and I, but it didn't pose too much of a problem when the door was closed.
The location was a bit far from the city center, but it was also located within a five minute walk from two meto stations. Getting places was not a problem at all. The only bump that we ran into was that the metro closes at 2, so we had to walk or uber bacm from the bars at night (The walk from the St. Germain was long but bearable).
There was tons of Asian eateries and a few other cafes and such nearby. There was also a supermarket and pharmacy right downstairs.
