My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in Lyon, and staying in Kathy's apartment was a huge part of that. Kathy was very communicative with us beforehand when we needed to contact her with questions before arriving from the US. She speaks fluent English and French, so this was very easy for all of us. Kathy met us at the apartment immediately after we stepped out of our Uber car upon arrival, so there was no waiting around or difficulty connecting up with her to get the keys to her apartment. She then showed us around the apartment, and even gave my daughter suggestions on good places to run, as well as offering to make dinner reservations for us if needed since she's very in touch with the Lyon fine dining scene. Kathy's apartment is located in a very fine, lively (especially on weekend nights!) neighborhood that was within a very short walk to the Place des Terreaux and local modes of transportation. We had everything we needed in Kathy's well appointed kitchen to cook occasional meals, and had more than enough room for both of us. The bathroom was neat and clean and very functional, and there was plenty of room for us to sleep in the upstairs loft as well as on the futon on the main floor. I cannot think of anything we were lacking at Kathy's apartment during our visit, and highly recommend her place.
