Xavier's apartment is absolutely outstanding and we could not recommend it more. It is in an excellent location - central yet quiet - and near a metro station if you need to get to Lyon Part Dieu station. It is beautiful inside - spacious, stylish, comfortable. Lovely living area with comfy sofa and chair and a massive dining table (which we didn't use, too many nice local restaurants). There was a separate big bedroom with comfortable bed and a lovely shower room and kitchen (in which we made only coffee and tea!). Although we didn't meet Xavier, we spoke to him a number of times and met his lovely mum. We had a superb experience and will definitely rebook - there is so much to see and enjoy in Lyon and we will return to Xavier's apartment in an instant.
