Are there any sites similar to this about Paris? A friend may spend a month or 2 there and would be needing to find an inexpensive place to stay. I'm guessing that Paris is quite a bit more expensive than Madrid.

pedmar, your site is great and I have recommended it to my friend. He is just thinking about this possible opportunity and is trying to get an idea of what living arrangements might be like and cost.

the cost is higher than Madrid and the salaries too. I know handle business on both sides.

the best inexpensive places are in www.paris35.com
then the youth hostals or hotels bordering the BP boulevard peripherique that goes around inner Paris. If he sees something there he or you can contact me for details on area, and how to visit cheaper.
And thanks for the blog recomm
Cheers

Thanks, pedmar, I will pass along the information. Currently, the opportunity is just being explored. It could be several months before it is 'a go or no go', but now at least some basic exploration can start.
all the best to you
