Laurent's place was great for our stay in Lyon during the women's world cup. He met us during check-in with beers and his family. He also left beautiful flowers and a bottle of wine from his grandparent's neighbor's vineyard. The house is spacious and built by Laurent himself. Laurent met us at check out and even offered us a ride to the local station with out bags (super nice guy). The house is literally at a bus stop (C11) and three blocks from a local tram stop (T3) . Lastly, there are amazing pastry shops two blocks to the west. We got breakfast croissants and espresso every morning.
The only cons are that there is no AC which was only a problem since France was experiencing record high Temps (even at night). We knew there was no AC when we booked and it's hard to find a private residence with AC. The other con is that Laurent smokes and so the linen/pillows/couch smell like smoke. We easily handled this with some febreeze and understand that most French folks smoke. The last con, which was very minor, is that the stairs have one part with a low ceiling. I am 5'-9" and had to duck down. It was no big deal and if you are tall, you better get use to ducking in all the churches / historical sites around town.
Overall, highly recommend.
