Eric was very friendly and helpful. He truly made me feel like a guest in his home. I was in Lyon for the Lumiere Film Festival and he was very accommodating in terms of schedule in arranging to give me the keys to his apartment. The apartment itself was extremely clean and well furnished, it felt like a bright loft, the light streamed in during the day. It had excellent internet. For me it was perfect.
The neighborhood is extremely well located - charming and close to the subway. It felt like Portlandia in Paris with vintage clothing stores, cool cafes. The one downside was on weekends it got a little loud at night. I am from NY so that was not an issue for me at all and the apartment has double thick windows.
I wanted to extend my stay in Lyon at the end and Eric was able to accommodate me. All in all, an excellent experience.
