We chose Marlene's place for a conference in Lyon and because we came with a cat. As she has cats herself she was very welcoming and even put her food and water in the appartment before we arrived. She also put us lots of things in the fridge for breakfast so we didn't even need to buy anything, this was very nice! The place is in a calm neighborhood but only 5min walking from a metro/tram hub, so very well located, plus there is a parking space for the car (which we also needed). The appartment is small but has everything you need and the aircondition was worth gold during the heat wave in Lyon (the cat appreciated it while we were sweating at the non-airconditioned conference venue). The decoration is a bit quirky, but this makes it also unique. Marlene was very quick to respond and everything went flawless. Also very good value for the location.
