Chiara and her roommate speak 4 languages: Italian, English, Spanish and French so communication was easy. I thought the location was great; it's right off the 91 bus line and a block from the RER, nice neighborhood with good amenities yet quiet. If you like to walk, the Marais is not too far. Chiara had some great suggestions for cool, free things to do and in general, I felt like I was staying with friends rather than at a random AirBnB. ;)
