My husband and I spent a longer period in the apartment of Emilie and Kevin. The communication with the hosts was swift and very friendly. We received adequate information on how to enter the apartment and Kevin explained us the practical aspects such as the waste sorting and the door codes. The couple even completed the equipment with a few devises that we found practical.
The apartment is very much as described. The opaques window glasses provide privacy from the street. They also mean that there are no views. The street level apartment without air-condition was cool even in August. Be careful not to leave objects close to the kitchen window if the window is open. My husband’s mobile telephone was stolen from that place one evening.
The situation of the flat in the mid of the Croix Rousse Mountain is good. Be prepared for up and down hill walking in Lyon and the 4 x 18 steps of the Montée des Carmélites, in particular. The area is rather quiet except for occasional renovation work going on in different buildings/apartments nearby. Some nights we had noisy neighbors above.
Lyon is big town with museums, parcs, rivers and other corners to visit. Out time passed fast and we enjoyed and our stay. Thank you, Emilie, and Kevin!
