I was warmly greeted by Sabrina and Gary. The flat was comfortable and clean. Someone said before that the bedroom was small, but it was adequate for me.
The neighbourhood was what I went for, having lived there as a student 30 years previously. It had indeed, as Gary informed me, changed a lot - not architecturally but there appeared to be a greater working/commuting population. I tried to get downstairs to the café for the rush hour and I found it a good way to start the day.
There are many restaurants and bars nearby but unfortunately, because of a variety of reasons, I was unable to benefit from Lyon's profusion of top class restaurants.
