We stayed for 3 nights at Herve's place while in Lyon for a conference. The apartment was in a perfect location for us, very close to the university but also very convenient for the metro to other parts of the city. There is a bakery just downstairs for fresh bread and pastries in the morning. The apartment itself was clean and spacious, with a light open-plan living room-dining room and good-sized bedrooms. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Herve is a friendly, interesting guy who has done a lot of travelling, so the apartment is full of photos and objects from around the world. He was very helpful and communication with him before our stay was good. We can definitely recommend Herve's place for a visit to Lyon.
