Should I take this internship offer from a small HF?

Background:
* Economics undergraduate at (high?) semi-target uni.
* Undertaking placement year (year in industry) on a FoF team at a mid sized PB/AM. No other experience in high finance. Will be taking CFA L1 in June and aiming to write some investment theses and make a small/paper portfolio within next 6 months.
* Aiming for career in investment management of some sort (naturally equities-focused but not opposed to other areas, just probably not FoF due to declining nature of industry and limiting skills developed).

I recently lucked into a 2 month internship offer at a small European L/S hedge fund (AM later? It's not that I actually have any other internship offers, but is this a good use of my time?

 

Lucked as in, I was just having a conversation with a guy there. Told him I was looking for an internship, not necessarily at their firm though. Had a casual chat, gave my CV. Got an offer.

I know it's a good offer, I just wanted to basically find out if this gives me much leeway within AM recruiting. In all likelihood, I'll take it.
