Marlene greeted us instantly upon arrival and proved to be a very pleasant and accommodating host. Since we drove in, we were quite pleased to get free private parking in front of the apartment, a major concern in French cities. The apartment was in a quiet location, was spacious, comfortable and visually delightful with its retro theme. It was about a 10-minute walk to the metro, which takes one to centre ville Lyon in another 20 minutes. Everything was provided, including coffee, biscottes, bread, butter, milk and anything else you might need to cook meals. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended, and we would be happy to revisit Marlene the next time we are in Lyon.
