I had an incredible stay at Sophia's art studio/loft! For a long-term stay in Lyon, I could not have asked for anything better. The apartment is adorable and filled with art; it has everything you need to relax, work, cook, etc. The location is perfect for a calm stay within easy reach of the city center. For those not familiar with Croix-Rousse, it is a lovely neighborhood in Lyon with beautiful viewpoints of the city; one is located just a few steps from the loft. Be prepared that you will need to either climb quite a large hill or take the metro in order to reach Sophia's place; for me this was no problem. I also loved how conveniently located Sophia's place is, a few blocks or less walking distance to a park, a grocery store, an outdoor market, a pharmacy, and to two amazing bakeries in the neighborhood, the Boulanger des Chartreux and the Boulangerie Eric Amieux on the Place des Tapis. For a relaxing stay in Lyon in a charming Croix-Rousse studio... don't hesitate.
