Blandine's place is a short walk from the Gare de Lyon station. The building is secure, and her place is welcoming. The room is quite spacious, when compared to what you'd see in a typical hotel room. There's a bathroom attached to the bedroom, but the toilet is across the apartment, and you have to walk through the living room to get to it. Blandine served up a delicious breakfast with baguettes, assorted breads, and a nice selection of jams and spreads, including Nutella that tastes way better than the terribly sweet stuff you find in the US.
