Communication with Sylvia via email was clear and quick. Sylvia doesn't speak English but that doesn't stop her from communicating effectively :). Emails were in clear English though. The studio was clean, well prepared (incl. coffee, tea, jam), and met out expectations. We had a great stay and can recommend staying with Sylvia for a long weekend in Paris. The location is great and there is a nice bakery 3 minutes away on the same street (direction opposite of the metro stop).
