Denis-Marc was very welcoming and helpful on our arrival. Although he speaks English, he was incredibly patient at our halting French (and refusal to speak English) but that was an advantage for us as we became more confident. He provided maps and recommendations of good typically local places to eat (we didn’t hear English spoken in any of these restaurants!). The flat is in an ideal location for transport, sightseeing, bars and restaurants. There was a very handy bar across the road for breakfast. The flat was clean and tidy and our room was indeed “calme” as he described it, as it was at the back of the building. Our bedroom had shelves of books which he invited us to use in order to make best use of our time in Lyon.
