To stay at Serge's apartment is so far the best option I've made here at Lyon.
I'm a student and I've decided to rent an Airbnb for a month before school started and this was my paradise.
It has a beautiful view of the city and I believe I haven't seen such amazing sunsets and wonderful scenery every single day. I can't imagine a better way to start my mornings.
Serge is very warm and VERY well organized. Trust me when I say you won't need anything because he has EVERYTHING COVERED for you.
For those of you who are worried about the distance between the apartment and there centre of the city well, it isn't really far away. I usually spend less than 30 minutes all the way to Perrache station.
I really felt at home there and I know for sure you'll feel it too!
