Sophie was a wonderful host. Incredibly helpful and friendly, and really went above and beyond to help me feel welcome in a new city. She met me at the train station to help with my luggage and also waited in line with me to help translate so I could get a local transportation pass for the busses/metro (which was indispensable). Her place is in a cool part of town (not touristy or crowded), close to a metro and lots of bus options for getting around, not far from the river, and with plenty of restaurants, shops, and bustle to get what you need. Her warm hospitality really made my stay in Lyon a great experience.
