Greg's apt was a great find. It is both very comfortable and functional with modern clean lines. Easy to feel at home in. On the US 4th floor (note: no elevator) it faces an inner courtyard so it is protected from street noise. Considering that it is just one block from a major Square, in which the Town Hall sits) the street is somewhat grotty but very safe because there are always people around. The apt is extremely well located as just two blocks from the Metro also with easy access to the far banks of both the Rhone and Saone rivers. Restaurants from simple to fine are just up the hill. The apt was spotless; has a washer, dishwasher, rain shower, microwave, and espresso maker in addition to the normal appliances. Greg met me at the station with the key and was very responsive while I was in the apt to my questions. He went well beyond the normal host requirements in being extremely helpful to me on some personal matters that I asked for advice about. Greg's place was a great place to stay in Lyon. I felt relaxed and at ease there and slept very well. This is a winner.
