Looking for an appartment in Lyon

Dear all,

as I'll be moving to Lyon in the beginning of next year for my job, I'm looking for an appartement in Lyon. As I'll be working in Saint-Priest I thought it might be good to live in Lyon, but close to Saint-Priest (7e/8e arrondissement ?). Can someone recommand these arrondissements or is it maybe not a good place to live?
And if someone can suggest to me a nice appartment (if possible: meublé), I'd appreciate it :-)

Thank you in advance
Anna
