Communication with Xavier was excellent, and we received a warm welcome from his wife Francoise. They provided great information about Lyon, and Francoise provided some great restaurant recommendations. Their apartment is beautiful , very clean and quiet, with a nice view. It is well equipped and we appreciated the secure parking, washing machine, and breakfast necessities. The location in Croix-Rousse is close to amenities and transportation. We had a lovely walk to Vieux Lyon and took transit home...very convenient. We enjoyed our short stay, and would stay here again. Highly recommended.
