After a very long trip, my arrival and stay at the chambre d'hote hosted by France was perfect. It took me about 5 minutes to walk from the Part Dieu station, and France's attentive communications before my arrival made it easy to find. The location is very convenient - whether for quick access to plenty of neighborhood restaurants and shops - or to downtown Lyon via convenient public transit. Actually, I like strolling city streets, and enjoyed walking all the way from France's place to the Vieux Lyon, taking in the sights. France is a gracious host and capable of delightful conversation, but never intrusive during my 2-night stay. She is well-traveled herself, and I really appreciated her thoughtfulness, providing privacy when appropriate or helpful information, according to my wishes. I look forward to returning here again!
