I had a 3 month stay at Pascale's apartment. The apartment is in a great location, near excellent public transport links and very close by all the major attractions in Lyon. Pascale is very knowledgeable about the local area and a good cook. The balcony is a lovely amenity although the view is that of the opposite building, not the entirety of the Hotel-Dieu in the photographs.
In terms of the living space, there are some things to please consider before booking. The shower head is not mounted to the wall and there are no shower curtains, making the shower process difficult. There are no locks in the bathroom or toilet which was not a problem for me but may make some guests reconsider. The living room is Pascale's bedroom. There is a cat in this property and the cat litter is located in the toilet.
In terms of interactions with Pascale, towards the start, all was well with frequent daily interactions. However, I found that the host is looking for very frequent interaction. Due to my Erasmus placement, studies and my introversion I did not find that I could provide the amount of interaction she was expecting from me. Due to this I received unexpected and unwarranted harsh personal criticisms of my nature and personality. This made me feel very uncomfortable for the duration of my stay and I opted to spend as much time as possible outside the apartment. I ended up leaving as early as I could as the environment she created became hard for me to live in.
Overall, I would recommend this stay for a short time but would not recommend the apartment for long-term stays.
