Lyon was beautiful and the location was great! We were incredibly close to a whole street full of restaurants, a small market and a lot of sights along the river.

Julie and her husband were very friendly and happy to chat to us about the local culture and France in general (plus their baby is adorable!) We spent two of our three nights in the living room with them, practicing our bad French, and on the last day they gave us a ride to the train station. The best hosts we've had on our trip so far.
