Catherine's place is in a good location as it is very close to a metro stop up in Croix Rousse but is still within walking distance (downhill) to the centre of Lyon. We never met Catherine since she was away so we were hosted by her son and his friend, which wasn't quite as expected but they were friendly all the same. The kitchen was very well equipped and bedroom comfortable, but note that the one bathroom is shared by all occupants. Overall a nice stay.
