Jean was an excellent host and went above and beyond to make sure my stay was pleasant. Communications were always quick and he checked in to ensure I had everything I needed during my stay. The studio itself is very cute and has all you could need. I didn’t cook but it looked like they had basic utensils and spices.
My main gripe is that the only window in the apartment faces the street. If you want to open the curtains or windows, you lose a lot of privacy since the apartment is on the ground floor. I love leaving the windows open (especially since there is no AC and you need that airflow) and letting natural light fill my apartment but I didn’t feel comfortable doing that since my window was on the sidewalk. There are bars on the window so it’s not like someone will climb in but they can definitely look in very easily.
They were doing construction across the street so the street was quite a mess and pretty noisy if you had the windows open. It wasn’t that big of an issue because I was not spending too much time in the apt but it might be annoying if you plan to work from here.
