We really enjoyed our stay at Laurent's place. Laurent is a terrific host and his apartment is immaculate. Everything is newly refurbished, comfortable, clean and designed by him. Laurent was easy to talk to and we felt very grateful for his flexibility when we booked very last minute. His apartment may look farther away from the city on a map, but it was actually very straightforward and quick to get downtown. The bus picks up a half block from his apartment very regularly and goes to the metro into the city. All in all usually less than 20 minutes. We would stay hear again next time we are in Lyon and highly recommend it to other travelers.
