It was very special experience staying in this apartment. It is gorgeous, stylishly decorated, immaculately clean, and well lit with floor to ceiling windows facing inside the courtyard. Having a mezzanine level made the apartment feel more spacious than it actually was. We loved the history of silk workers living and working in these "canuts." As other reviews have stated, Christelle is an exceptional host who makes everyone feel very welcome. She shares a lot of information and recommendations, which is helpful to first time visitors to Lyon. She also provided breakfast items. The apartment is halfway up La Croix-Rousse neighborhood, so it involved walking up stairs. But, the neighborhood is very pleasant and located in a way that is easy to walk places or take public transportation (buses or metro) to other parts of Lyon. Christelle's apartment is one of our favorite Airbnb experiences, not just in France, but anywhere. I highly recommend it!
