When we first met Yann, we were very optimistic. He was welcoming and talked with us for a few minutes with recommendations for the area, along with metro instructions. We arrived an hour early and told him we would be happy to wait at a nearby restaurant, but he said we could at least drop the luggage by (while he was finishing up the cleaning) which was nice. A couple hours later, we went back to the apartment to settle in. Decoratively, the apartment was great but didn't seem very well taken care of (light bulbs out, dusty furniture, etc.) Also, even with the balcony doors being wide open there was a pretty strong odour coming from the apartment. There was a load of his laundry left in the washing machine, cooking debris on the kitchen walls, and rotting mouldy vegetables in the fridge. It was a disappointment to say the least.
We didn't spend much time inside during our stay, but on two separate occasions we arrived at the apartment and received a message from Yann that he had entered it while we were out. This strikes me as highly unprofessional, as we were paying to rent out the space and it should not be entered without notice ahead of time.
On the upside, the location did serve us well. The neighbourhood itself had a few options for dining nearby, stores for food & drink, and the best little bakery just a couple minutes away. It was also pretty central for transit.
