Lydia was great in communicating with us and getting everything ready for our arrival. We didn't meet her but she arranged for a friend to meet us, let us in and show things. The location is very good, two minute walk from the metro station Plaisance which can then get you anywhere in Paris. The studio is good for few nights, it has a little kitchen and great shower. We had problems with the internet and although it wasn't 100% working, Lydia was helpful in communicating with us and trying to get it sorted. The only downside is that the place is not clean at all. Very dirty behind things and around the studio.
