It's been a fantastic long weekend in Lyon and I'm glad I stayed with my friend in this "home away from home".
Christophe is a superb host and had everything ready when we arrived, even saved us a trip to the information office as he had gotten the city maps from the tourist office.
The flat is very comfortable and it has everything you may possibly need (and much more) during your stay. The location is perfect, in a quiet street with a tram station and supermarket around the corner, metro station Guillotière is only 5 minutes away and there are plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants nearby.
You can also enjoy a ten minute walk to Bellecour and you'll be in the city center. And the Rhône is only a block away, allowing a lovely after dinner stroll to enjoy the night views of Fourvière.
For all the "off the beaten track" tips and recommendations, just ask Christophe and he'll tell you all there's to know about it...
I enthusiastically recommend this flat to anyone visiting Lyon and would definitely go back myself, without a doubt!
