I can't say enough about Marie and my stay with her. The 10 days were the kind of genuine cultural exchange I've always imagined AirBB could be but have not known till this trip. Marie is friendly, endlessly kind and considerate, but always respectful of the guest's privacy, and full of current, useful information about Lyon and the neighborhood. Beyond all that, our conversations were terrific - touching on 20th century French history, current French politics, French film, theater, live music, making the most of the European rail systems, and much more. The apartment is modest but very clean and comfortable and the room is charming - it looks over a lovely garden and has a beautiful view of the stars at night. In short, c'était une expérience fabuleuse!
