As some other people have mentioned, the apartment is quite dark and also up a very steep hill. Although I didn’t like it at first, the place grew on me and I ended up enjoying it. It seemed quite a typical of Lyon. The outside area made a big difference to the place. The kitchen is small but is set up well enough so you can self cater and the coffee machine was a bonus. The bathroom was tiny but good. Beware of the step into the kitchen - it’s hard to see, so I almost fell down it a couple of times. It was only a 5-10 minute walk down to the metro and buses that connects you with the rest of the city. The croix rouge neighbourhood is a bit seedy and grimy, but I felt fairly safe travelling alone. There are lots of places to eat and a small supermarket nearby. I didn’t have a huge amount of contact with Sergio, but he made sure I had arrived safely and also let me know about a bi-annual dance parade that was on while I was there. As most people probably arrive via Gare Part Dieu or plane it would have been good to have had transport directions to the place. If you don’t know about it already, Citymapper is a great app to help you navigate in Lyon (and quite a few other cities).
