Jean Christophe was a wonderful host. He was flexible with my checkin and checkout time and let me come back to his flat the day I was leaving for a shower, as I was running a race in Lyon that afternoon. The Croix-Rousse neighborhood is a great spot to stay- great views because you are up in the hills, but an easy 15 minute walk to city center too. Tons of bars and restaurants around, and Jean Christophe can tell you more about the history of les Canuts and maybe even take you to see the hidden Traboules! And host and tour guide all in one!
