We loved our week-long stay in Pauline’s apartment. The location was perfect, with good restaurants, small shops, bars and the daily fresh food market on Blvd de la Croix-Rousse just steps away. It is a lively neighborhood that yet becomes peaceful in the evenings, great for sleeping with windows open. Because it is on a hill, there are nice views of the city in several areas. We found the shop keepers and residents of Croix-Rousse to be very friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Pauline’s description of her apartment is accurate. Overall, it is a lovely place with a spacious kitchen and living room, and another smaller sitting room. All were decorated very nicely so it was a pleasant experience to be there.

There are two bedrooms and we used both. The beds were very comfortable, but it is worth noting that as she described in the listing, one bedroom in particular (her son’s room) has a very low ceiling, so care must be taken for taller adults in that room. A smaller portion of the other bedroom’s ceiling was also a bit low. The only other drawback was that the two towels left for us (only two) appeared to be quite (they were thin and stiff).

We would stay at Pauline’s apartment should we visit Lyon in the future!
