I'm glad that I chose Marie's apartment for my trip to Lyon. Although it's fairly simple, everything was as described, clean, and functional. It is outside of the historic city center, it is very close to the metro and tram station, so you can easily get to downtown, Vieux Lyon, Perrache, Eurexpo, etc. Furthermore, you can easily walk to lots of restaurants and shops along the Avenue des Frères Lumière. Marie was very responsive and wrote in good English. Overall it was a great value and I would happily stay there again.
