Laurent was accommodating prior to my arrival and replied to me almost straight away when I messaged him and they were not always about the studio but questions about Lyon in general. Check in was easy and Laurent was very time flexible to allow for my arrival. The accommodation itself was perfect for me. It was equipped with everything I wanted and being self contained, could come and go as I pleased. The location is perfect also, up a very steep hill is the Gallo-Roman remains, the cathedral is a short walk too, and the local bar is a stones throw away (all speak English there too).
I plan to return there when I can and to bring my son and hopefully Laurent will be able to host us. Can't ask for anything more from either a host or his studio and location.
