I didn’t speak much French at all, but we got on well. She is quite sweet, but also kept to her life and herself, which was nice. The room was secluded and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. The bathroom is a bit small if that matters to you. The house is beautiful, but I didn’t spend much time in the front rooms; they seem to be her sleeping quarters. Close to the line 9 at Voltaire, about a 25 minute ride to the Eiffel Tower and other locations like that. I thought the area was safe and the neighborhood friendly.
