We had an amazing stay at Francois' place. Location with easy walking access to the Croix-Rouge area, but far enough away to be quiet. Playground a block away was great for our 4 year-old son. Towels were plush to American standards, not easy to find in Europe. He and his friend checked us in to the house, offered suggestions for things to do in the area, and made us feel welcome. We would recommend to anyone traveling to Lyon!
