Blandine is so kind and welcoming. She speaks very good english, and was very patient with my fumbling attempts at speaking french. I had used Air BnB twice before, and each time I had the entire apartment to myself. This was the first time I was staying in a situation where I was sharing with the owner, so I was a bit unsure what to expect. No problem at all! I had a large sitting room where the dining table and TV set were, then through another door to the bedroom and its attached shower & sink. The toilet was across the hall from my 2-room suite, but this was no problem at all; never did I feel uncomfortable. I had total privacy and total freedom.
Short walk to the Gare de Lyon puts you into the metro and RER systems for easy transit anywhere in the area.
