Alexandre and his father were gracious, helpful hosts. They left kind little touches like fresh juice for the kids. The space was beautiful- definitely eclectic, but very well done. And when we couldn't find the house, we called, and Alexandre's father came and met us where we were, and walked us to the apartment. He also helped us secure parking in a nearby parking lot. He gave us directions to the funicular, and answered all of our questions about Lyon. I speak lousy French, but it was enough to help us communicate. I highly recommend Alexandre's place!
