My stay at Carole's place was excellent, and exactly the soft landing I needed for my first time in Lyon. The location is in a lovely residential neighborhood with great cafes and shops around the corner, but also an easy walk to the peninsula. Everything was super clean and Carole was very welcoming. I was doing some remote work online and the internet was plenty fast and reliable for this. I was only there a few days so I ate out for each meal, but Carole offered my own space in the fridge and in kitchen cabinets to put food if I liked. I felt quite comfortable to use the kitchen when needed. My only regret is that I did not learn more French before arriving, because it would have been nice to chat with Carole a bit more. But all our communication via messaging on AirBnB was smooth (we both used translation functions), and if I ever had a more involved question I would use Google translator on my phone to ask Carole. She was always available to answer. I will remember this space for Lyon if I return at a later date.
