I did not get to meet Emilie, but her excellent directions made it easy to find the apartment. It is recently renovated, and absolutely immaculate! The bed is comfortable, there are plenty of spotless towels, and the shower is large with a great "waterfall" head! Two supermarkets are a few minutes walk away, and the Part Dieu train station is only 10 minutes farther. From there you can access all modes of transportation to take you anywhere in the city. Lyon has a lot to offer, and I highly recommend Emilie's apartment!
