Staying at Micheal's place was one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had over the last 5 months of traveling. It is true that his place has been decorated with a designers taste, which makes one feel more at home/luxurious. In addition, since it is Micheal's space - there are all the necessities one might need to make a nice meal (which I recommend, since Les Halles de Lyon, a fantastic upscale market, is a 5 minute walk), including proper glassware. The flat was very clean, comfortable, and filled with gorgeous light. The neighborhood is solid, and although walking to sights such as old town might be a stretch, there is every form of transportation at your doorstep (as well as grocery, bakery, etc.). I would highly recommend Michael's place, it's a great value and overall pleasure to stay in.
