We spent two and a half months at Xavier's place and we liked the apartment very much. It is well equipped and is exactly like as the photos show. The sleeping room and the terrace are very calm, so you can relax perfectly. The apartment is situated close to Vieux Lyon (5 mn) and the view of the river Soâne is superb. The opera house and the hotel de ville are within 15 mn walking distance. There are buses and a bike-(velov)station near by. If you stay longer, like us without a car, it is a little bit tricky to find a bigger supermarket, where you can buy everything you need. The closest one is about 1.5 km away, but for a shorter stay you can find everything easily. Xavier was very helpful and find a quick solution for the little problems in the apartment we had during our stay.
