I stayed for a month and now know the apartment and the quartier very well. Caroline and I have communicated during that time as well. Without any hesitation, I recommend that you reserve the apartment when you can. One note: it is located on the Pentes de la Croix Rousse and slightly away from the central part of Lyon. But it was for that reason I chose Caroline's apartment. You will discover nearby the Place Sathonay and several restaurants. The hip and trendy Croix-Rousse is a short walk. So is the Vieux Lyon. I took a guided tour and much of the walk was through the neighborhood of Caroline's apartment or nearby. Lucky you if you can reserve.
