I stayed here for 2 nights to go and discover Lyon. Although it is a little way out from the centre of Lyon, it has a metro line almost next door which, for €1.90 you can use to get anywhere in Lyon and is really easy to use.
It is a half an hour walk away from Fourviere hill which houses the Lugdunum Gallo-Romain museum and La basilique de Notre Dame du Fourviere from which you get great views of the entire city. These sites have no metro stop nearby so, although it is an uphill walk, Xeniya's home is perfectly situated to visit them.
Xeniya wasn't present during my stay but her mum, Lucie looked after me and gave me all the information and was generally extremely welcoming and made me feel right at home instantly. We used Google translate to communicate with one another. Xeniya was also on hand via Airbnb messaging for help at any point of my stay if I needed it.
The private room is very comfortable and the house was clean with amenities such as towels, a shared kitchen and breakfast (coffee, tea, brioche, jam and butter) readily available.
There is also a boulangerie across the road.
2 cats live here and were very insistent on me petting them which I loved! It's worth noting that there is cat fur around though just in case allergies are a problem which they are not for me.
I would highly recommend staying here if your aim is to see Lyon.
Thank you Lucie and Xeniya for making my stay so enjoyable!
