Emma could not have done more for us. She met us when we arrived, filled us in on everything nearby, informed us of things to do in Lyon, giving us maps, transport timetables etc, and also more personal welcoming gifts like milk, baguette, jam, butter, coffee, tea. On Sunday morning she knocked on the door to tell us of an amazing flea market that was being held really close by, which we wouldn't have known of otherwise. Four of us shared the apartment and although we managed, the 2 sharing the sofa bed found it rather small, so maybe the apartment is more suitable for 3? Modern comforts in a beautiful old part of Lyon. Emma allowed me to do my washing in her machine, too, which helped us a lot.The view out of the windows in the mornings particularly are spectacular. Yes, it is a hike to get up the stairs, but not impossible (two of us are 60-ish and managed fine, almost up to Emma's standard by the time we left!!)) but if ever I am back in Lyon, I would choose to stay with Emma, and will recommend her place to all my friends.
