We stayed at Adie and Julien's place as a stopover on the way down to the Alps. It's got a lovely, friendly feel about it and is in a great location in the old town, close to the city centre (short walk), to the river (see from window) and La Croix-Rousse (few metro stops).

The hosts were very welcoming and communication with them was quick and clear. We were also a family of 2 adults, 3 kids and 2 dogs (not easy to accommodate!) but it was all very easy.

Forget hotels - if you're staying in Lyon and want some character then this place is perfect.
