Rachid was very responsive and met me right away for check-in. He had a few tips on the neighborhood. The location is great for Lyon and for public transport, as well. There are some cute restaurants and shops around, but also easy access to the metro via Foch and the main train via Part-Dieu. There was a heat wave while I was there, so would suggest a fan for comfort for future travelers during similar conditions, otherwise, it’s a good place.
