Isabelle met me at a cafe five minutes walk away from the apartment and was gracious when I texted her from the train station to say I would be later than I expected due to a problem buying a ticket in the Metro. Upon arrival, she offered me a cold drink and took me to the apartment.
The apartment is accurately described, to bedrooms, one bath and a fully functional kitchen. Everything was in working order and Isabelle presented me with milk, OJ, and other breakfast items. I felt very comfortable in the apartment, and the neighborhood is safe and quite calm at night.
The day before I left, I received a message from Isabelle to see how things were going and if I needed anything.
The apartment had a French phrasebook and Lyon city guide book on the living room table, which was very helpful in finding the correct metro stops whole sight seeing. Isabelle also recommended a couple of buchons and a bakery which were all superb.
Isabelle's apartement was a perfect place for my stay in Lyon and she was a very kind and generous host who made me feel very welcome in her place. I would highly recommend this listing for a couple, a family of 3-4 or a solo traveler.
