We stayed at .Micky's place for four nights. It is near the train station and Metro/Buses. It is a quiet neighborhood and felt quite safe.
The flat had been recently redone, and it was a very nice studio apartment. Since we cook, there are several supermarkets close. I must say unless you like over-crowed and disorganized shopping malls, avoid the Carrefore at the LaFayette, yuck!
Lyon is a great walking city, trek up the hill from old town to see the cathedral and Roman ruins.. Also we greatly enjoyed the movie and miniature museum and the puppet museum in Vieux Lyon.
Check in and out were about as simple as any AirBnB we have stayed at.
Micky's place was just great for our needs, Thanks Mickey!
We had a great time in Lyon
