We had a great stay at JLs place in Lyon. He was an extremely responsive and helpful host before our stay. During our stay, he met us at the apartment and spent time familiarising us with the unit and the area. He helped us with some mobile phone issues and kindly allowed us a late checkout.
The apartment looked like it had been recently renovated with new appliances, dishwasher, washer/dryer etc and was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom were very well-equipped with condiments, shampoos etc. With the windows open, there was a nice cross-breeze on hot days. The shower pressure and hot water were good and the bed was firm but comfortable. The street is a busy one but the apartment was very quiet at night for the 4 nights we were there. The apartment is on the 6th floor but there is a small lift and JL helped with our luggage. The only caution is that the separate toilet is cosy. If you were of generous proportions, it might be difficult to fit comfortably unless you had the door open a bit.
The location was excellent with the Hénon metro right across the road, a wonderful bakery also across the road and 2 supermarkets close by. The old town was about 20-30 minutes walk away but we used the metro to get around. A 24 hour ticket cost €6.
We would happily use JLs place if we returned to Lyon.
