We had a great time in Lyon in Frank's apartment. I travelled with two friends from the U.S. to Lyon and we stayed in Frank's apartment for 4 nights. Frank was very nice during our email conversations to set up the stay, and then very flexible on our arrival and departure times. The apartment is HUGE, with plenty of space for guests. The loft space upstairs isn't for anything but sleeping (the ceiling height is just too short), but we had plenty of comfortable beds for sleeping and the downstairs is so big that no one was cramped for space. The apartment is beautifully furnished, new furtniture, very modern and comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with glassware, plates, etc.

We enjoyed being on the first floor (no flights of stairs with luggage!) and we enjoyed having the windows open in the mornings and evenings. The weather was warm, so the apartment was a little stuffy and warm at night when the windows were closed. If Frank were to invest in anything to upgrade the apartment, it would be a fan or a small portable a/c. (2 of our 3 have group members have lived in Europe, so we understand European air conditioning is not the same as in America). No washer/dryer, but there were places to do your laundry just a couple of blocks away in this great, locals-only neighborhood. Great location to experience true Lyon, with good restaurants and bars all within walking distance (we liked the organic/gluten-free "Le Jardin Intérieur"). Also, because the place is so large, we were able to wash clothes and set up the drying rack in the kitchen with room to spare. The wifi and television were nice touches. Thank you Frank for a great place to stay in Lyon!
