I am so excited to find your publication as I am working toward my dream of moving to France. I look forward to seeing your apartment come together - so happy that you found it through your connections. I will be in the same situation as you. Were you required to have a guarantor too?

To deal with heat and lack of a/c, I was thinking about buying a portable a/c. They’re not cheap but it is worth the price to me as I cannot take extreme heat. From my research, a dual hose portable a/c is best and you need 20BTUs/square foot to adequately cool the space.

Anyway, can’t wait to hear how things are coming along for you.
