Beware!
I was arriving in Lyon on September 12th. I booked for this property and Sebastien confirmed on August 8th. This was 2 months in advance. Then just 2 days before I was to arrive Sebastien notified me he would not be honoring the reservation. Again, it was confirmed 2 months in advanced and he canceled 2 days in advance. I immediately began searching for a new rental, but as you can imagine there were few choices. We had to book a property that did not fit our needs as well and at a higher cost. I would think twice if you are considering renting from Sebastien. Also, in case someone thinks I might be misrepresenting this, this is copied directly from the Airbnb chat:

Hi Keith,
Thanks for booking.
I tried to reach you on the phone but I think you're busy.
I would like to inform you that unfortunately we will not be able to welcome you to the property due to overbooking.
So, I suggest:
1) Either modify your reservation and initiate a cancelation request without any fees we will accept.
2) Either contact Airbnb and ask them to relocate you.
3) Or, we have a place to offer you that will be suitable for 2 guests.
We're really sorry about this situation, please let us know so we can find a solution. Have a good day
