I had the pleasure of staying at Laurent's place with my friend for two nights. Laurent was an amazing host because he kept in contact with me constant and even offered suggestions on places to eat. He was even kind enough to book me and my friend a dinner reservation. He has impeccable service for his guests.
As for his place it's located near the central part of Lyon and is walking distance of a lot of stores, restaurants, and historic sights. While, the building that Laurent's apartment is in is rather old, his apartment is modern. The bedrooms were great, his kitchen was contemporary, and there are two nice bathrooms. It was also a nice added bonus that Laurent had mood lightning in the bathrooms, an assortment of waters/juice in the fridge, and a projector to watch movies. All in all Laurent's apartment was a great experience. I would definitely stay there again.
