Jean-Philippe deserves his superhost status. He is friendly, attentive and was always available when we needed him most (when the Freebox internet stopped working, he made sure it was back on and worked with the provider). We stayed at the Republique apartment for an entire month. The apartment is large, very well equipped and uber central. If you are traveling to Lyon for tourism you could not ask for a better location. The apartment was clean and so was the building (we were on the second floor with an elevator). We had a good time!
