The location of the apartment was great - right in the lively Bastille area. The studio itself was nice. We didn't meet Mehdi but he left us a comprehensive letter. His mom was there to welcome us for our check in and she was very lovely. They had made us some fresh lemonade and left us a ton of fresh fruit!
Communication with Mehdi was easy and prompt. He made sure to check in with us during our stay.
The only negative parts of our stay were that there was no AC during the August heat and there was a terrible, strong odour in the hallway outside of the apartment which unfortunately invaded the studio as well. We made sure to leave the windows open during the day and used air freshener, which helped a great deal. Of course, this wasn't Mehdi's fault at all and it may be fixed in the future.
