Did not get to meet Jerome but he was always corresponding via airbnb regarding check in procedures. It turned out that the room was in his parents' apartment and they were lovely hosts. We had a morning arrival into Lyon and were allowed to check in even before noon. We don't speak French so, unfortunately, we did not get to have many conversations with our hosts. But they always looked out for our needs. Case in point was the fact that, initially, the WiFi signal was non-existent in our room as it only reached the living area. We were glad to stay in the living area to go online, but Jerome's parents went out of their way to buy and install a new WiFi extender so that we may get signal in our room. Much appreciated.
The apartment's location was just a couple of blocks away from place bellecour, and vieux Lyon (and even fourviere hill) was a comfortable walk away. It is, in fact, located within the zone that's a Unesco world heritage site.
Potential guests, however, must note that the toilet and bathroom are shared with the hosts, so you may sometimes feel that your intruding into their private lives.
all told, the room is great value for money and would recommend it wholeheartedly!
