Valerie’s place is mere minutes walk from Part Dieu and, while small, is very neatly set up, modern and clean. It is also very secure. We stayed there during an extreme heatwave and with only a small fan for cooling, it was a little uncomfortable, but this would not normally be an issue. Valerie responded immediately to a small problem with the shower not draining, and communication was good. A useful folder on Lyon was also provided. The area is not the most attractive part of Lyon, but seemed safe enough and was fairly quiet at night. There also seemed not to be much in the way of good medium priced restaurants, though we really enjoyed a meal at Danton, which was a reasonable walk away. The location on the ground floor was also useful with heavy cases. Linen, coffee machine, coffee, tea and sugar were all provided. Thank you Valerie!
