Christelle's space was a great place to stay as a solo traveler. It was super close to the metro station which will take you anywhere you'd like to go in Lyon. The Monplaisir neighborhood was quaint and felt very safe. I was here in August when most things were closed, but as people returned from holiday, it really came to life with many cafes, restaurants, boulangeries, and general shopping. Christelle herself was wonderful to communicate with and a great hostess!
