Was v.s. is

I met and talked to him last week, and he "was" a nice guy or "is a nice guy" ??

Note: I know the meeting was happened last week, and we should use past tense "was", but he guy is still nice now. Should I use "is"?

I think you should use "was" because the action happend in the past, and it deosn't matter if the guy stills nice or not !! - I hope that helped you -

If you're trying to say that you found him to be nice (then), use was.
If you're trying to say that you (now) think that he's a nice person, use is.
