Lyriane is a fantastic and friendly host. We really enjoyed staying at her place with her and her cats.
This is an arty bohemian apartment in an arty bohemian neighborhood that has restaurants, night life, and a lot going on nearby. (If you're a light sleeper, you might use ear plugs if the windows are open). There's a lot of cool stuff to see in this neighborhood.
Walking to many places in Lyon that we wanted to go to was easy, including to the river with a beautiful view of the old town and over the river to see it. Metro and Bus stops were close as well so it was always easy to get around.
