I really enjoyed my stay at Hélène's place!! The room is perfect, bright and spacious with a private bathroom, Wi-Fi, flat screen television and a nice terrace in the garden just in front of it - what else is there to ask? The house is in a very calm and safe neighborhood from where you can reach the city center in 20 minutes, or even faster by bicycle! There are bike stations on basically every corner of the city (there is also one just down the road from Hélène's house) and renting them is really cheap and easy. Hélène will give you advice on what to visit in Lyon; she is a very welcoming and helpful host and a great person, too! I enjoyed having a glass of wine with her on the terrace and talking about all kinds of things! She is a very sociable person who will still give you all the privacy you want. I would really recommend her place, even for a longer stay - it feels like having your own little apartment!
