I would highly recommend staying at Rodolphe’s place in Lyon. It is a quick 15-20 minute walk to the Lyon Part Dieu Train Station and 30 minutes to the Plaza Bellecour and Office of Tourism (15 minutes by Metro). There is a metro station (Sans-Souci) 5 minutes away and it can take you to the Vieux Lyon. Check in was great with Rodolphe meeting us in person and giving us a tour of the place as well as making us feel welcomed.
