The studio is not in the middle of all of the popular Paris attractions, which made it a quiet getaway. Getting into the city is real easy, it is a quick bus ride and the bus stop is a two minute walk. There is a Monoprix supermarket nearby to pick up any necessities you may have forgotten or to stock up the fridge with snacks.
I did not check with Faina before requesting to book. She unfortunately was away on a business trip. However, she was gracious enough to open her home to me while she was out of town. Even ensuring that one of her friends were available to welcome me and provide a tour of the studio. She also checked in with me to make sure that I was comfortable and very responsive in her communications.
Upon Faina's return we were able to get to know each other over tea. I found that the studio is a reflection of the owners character: very warm, welcoming, and well coordinated. There is a plethora of information to help you navigate your way around Paris.
