Stay here. Jean-Charles is friendly and communicative. The place is very close to all you might want to see in Lyon and surrounded by many bars, restaurants and shops. The place is safe and quiet although it is in a busy area. The only noise comes from the upstairs neighbor who decided to play loud music on a Friday night until 3am. You can also hear them walking and talking. But that is expected with thin walls and city living. The host provides ear plugs to help cancel out noise. I definitely recommend.
