Brigitte and Steve's place met our needs very well. We are a couple with a small child and stayed for 1 month to work, explore the city and decide if we wanted to move there! Their place is very lived in which means fantastic things like enough kitchen ware, sheets, towels, storage space, etc.
It sometimes bordered on over-equipped. It also had a lot of personal effects which was both fun and a bit crowded/cluttered - but we knew this going in based on pictures.
The main bedroom as a good-sized bed for European standards (closer to an American Queen). The second bedroom and living room both had the most amazing fold-out sofa beds which were both very comfortable and very easy to stow away. As such, our child's bed could be folded in to make way for play space each day which allowed us to work in the living room.
The place had air conditioning which was a life-saver during the heat wave and a cute little terrace where we enjoyed many breakfasts and evening cocktails.
The area was perfect for us - quiet but grocery, a few restaurants and a little park within steps. Bus and metro a couple blocks away and the busy commercial center a 10 minute walk. Also key was the proximity to the river-side park and watering holes. The large city park, Tete d'Or was also close enough to frequent which was great for the kiddo and his baby sitter.
Brigitte and Steve's place is a great value, practical, well-situated and has all the details of a place people actually live in, which we appreciated.
By the end of the month, Lyon had won us over and we'll be moving there in a year.
