The apartment is wonderfully situated in the Monplaisir neighborhood of Lyon, within 5-10 minute walks to shops, cafes, groceries, laundries, the Institut Lumière, bus stops, the Metro. I was in Lyon teaching for eight weeks at both campuses of Université Lyon 2, and the apartment was conveniently situated in between the campus in Bron and the older one on the banks of the Rhône, making traveling daily in either direction easy and quick. Martine was an absolutely fabulous host, making sure I had everything I needed. The teaching assignment happened abruptly and so I took this apartment for four weeks at a moments notice, but I liked it so much and it was so convenient for both work and sightseeing that I booked it again for the second month. Great place. Quiet but close to a bustling neighborhood. Wonderful host!
