Emmanuel and his girlfriend are magnifique hosts. They helped me with everything they could. The apartment itself is great, spacious and very well illuminated. The room offered is a mini-studio, including a mini-refrigerator. The pictures shown are honest. And even if the studio could feel “trapping” you have access to the common area which let you to relax with a great view of Lyon.
The apartment itself is very well located, very near to the Croix Rousse and just 20 minutes walking to the Bellecour. Even on Sunday you will not have problem at all for finding a place where to eat. It's very near to the metro, and even near to one of the main bus lines.
