Tatiana's studio was ideal for my trip to Paris! Her studio was not simply a studio to mean a studio style apartment (which it is), but it is also an artists' studio, which suited me splendidly being an artist and art teacher myself. I felt quite at home! The style is rustic, and the arrangement of furnishings and decorations were thoughtful and well considered. The space was actually larger than I anticipated from the images posted, which was a nice surprise, and the location was ideal, next to several metro lines, and within 20 minutes to an hour walk from anything that you might want to do or see in Paris. The studio is in an enclosed courtyard in what appeared to be a very friendly community area. The walls are not especially thick, so you can hear what is going on outside, but I feel this is quite normal if you live in the city. I didn't find the noise outside to be anything different from my own living situation, but I do see how this may be off-putting to others, so it is something to take note of. For me, I am very glad to have made the decision to stay at Tatiana's and I am thankful that she welcomed me into her home. Tatiana was kind and prompt, though not living in Paris as her profile indicated so maybe not as familiar with the area in regards to changes that happen over time in a city. Still, she was very kind and did her best to help me with my questions and concerns. I would certainly stay here again! Merci beaucoup, Tatiana!
