Eva was an extremely enthusiastic and welcoming host. Communication was always prompt and informative. I particularly appreciated her detailed directions for getting downtown from the airport and for finding the apartment, and she was also keen to offer extensive sightseeing tips.
The guest room was bright and pleasant, and I slept well every night. There were a number of nice touches, including the provision of maps, beverages and biscuits, and Eva even offered me a welcome drink in the form of a glass of wine. She was also very helpful with the practical arrangements on my day of departure, as I had an evening flight and was overlapping with her next Airbnb guest.
The apartment, in a traditional-style block fronting onto a side street, is extremely well located (as long as you don't mind the 95 steps that have to be climbed every time in order to reach the fourth floor!). There are several supermarkets and numerous eateries close by; the nearest metro station is less than 2 minutes walk; the town hall and opera house are within 5 minutes and the cathedral around 10 minutes walk away.
The flat itself has its eccentricities - an extremely compact WC which is even tighter than an aircraft toilet (though it does have a window) and a kitchen with some overhead hazards for the unwary (on separate occasions I banged my head on a hanging saucepan and on a protruding cupboard handle!) - but these were minor irritations in the overall scheme of things. Eva's own hospitality could not be faulted, and we had some lively chats with each other throughout my stay.
If you are visiting Lyon and looking for somewhere pleasant and central, offering good value and with an obliging host, you will certainly not do better than Eva's apartment - I am very glad I chose it!
