Mehdi is extremely kind and welcoming and even let me visit the flat a day early to get the key. The flat is beautiful, spacious and cozy in a very nice area in the 13th arrondissement. The nearby streets are lively, but inside the courtyard everything is very quiet. I stayed here for 3 weeks to do research at the nearby libraries, and I found Mehdi's flat to be a perfectly peaceful place. I would definitely stay here again! :)
