Nicolas greeted us when we arrived and when we left. He was very accommodating and kind. He had a map as well as suggestions for sightseeing. Communication was very easy and quick - just like texting a friend at home. The courtyard to the apartment is accessed through a locked door at the street. As usual for a city, the apartment is cozy, especially the toilette which is downstairs (be careful on the stairs in the middle of the night). The shower is upstairs next to the bed. But for two people it is very well set up and very clean. It looks exactly like the pictures.
The location is amazing. Restaurants are a few doors down but not directly in front of the building which is great. The number of restaurants in the area is amazing anyways - you will never go hungry. The metro is a short walk through the lovely cobblestone streets where you can pick up gifts for friends at home.
We took a cab from Lyon Part-Dieu and the Metro when we left. Either way is easy - just follow everyone with their luggage.
We would definitely stay here again.
