I was unable to meet the host, but she had great communications with me via the app. The place has a great view, and the bath is fabulous, bigger than most US ones let alone puny EU ones. I only stayed one night out of three as I used the place as a base for EU biz trips, but the bed was very comfortable and the TV selections good as well. I would recommend highly for a couple who wanted to stay for a bit in Lyon in a quiet area, but also wanted to be <15 walk away from the park and metro access.
