Tiffen is very friendly and her place was bigger than I expected from the listing photographs, with high ceilings and a spacious living room/dining area. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is very small and the refrigerator/freezer are tiny, which was a bit of a challenge for our family of five. Fortunately, there are multiple grocery stores within a 1-2 minute walk, as well as a wonderful street market at Croix-Rousse. The week we were in Lyon, the weather was extremely hot, and the apartment got quite warm during the daytimes, but Tiffen provided a fan for every bedroom and had purchased a new fan for the living room the day we arrived, which helped. The clothes dryer was not functioning during our stay, which was an unexpected inconvenience. A drying rack and the warm weather helped our clothes dry fairly quickly, however. The apartment is quite quiet at night and there is a small elevator to help get your suitcases up to the third floor. Croix-Rousse is a pleasant neighborhood, but because it is on such a large steep hill, it's necessary to use public transportation much of the time if you want to explore the city. We appreciate Tiffen's sharing her home with us for a whole week and we will miss Lyon!
