I had a great, heart-warming stay at Marie-Hélène and her family's home.
Marie-Hélène was very accommodating with my arrival time when I arrived a bit later because I had missed a train. When I got off the bus, she greeted me in the street and introduced the neighbourhood and the house. She carefully arranged the time for me to come back to the house and pick up the bags after the check-out.
Her husband's artworks around the house and the pianos show the family's love of art, which was inspiring to me. I enjoyed having talks with the family over tea and breakfast, playing the piano myself in the guestroom and meeting their lovely cat.
Marie-Hélène gave me several helpful options of bus connections to the TGV station. Also, it was walkable from the house to Vieux Lyon and even Presqu'île, safely along the river.
I would love to come back to their home. Thanks!
