Personal comments
My friend stayed at the Cité (Student accomodation) Paul Appèl. It was kind of creepy and the room was really small. There were only two showers and two (working) toilets for 20 people. And the kitchen wasn't worth his name... There was a lot of noise. There was no doorbell, so everyone yelled or wistled.

My competency in the language improved drastically. At the start I simply didn't have the vocab that I needed. After the first couple of months however ease and fluency snowballed - and French people could stop speaking slowly and simply!
