This apartment was perfect for my month-long stay in Lyon. First and foremost, Karine the host is a delight. Shie is easy to work with and super-responsive. No problems at all. The apartment is in a great location in old Lyon. It is walkable to most anything you could want. It has a very serviceable kitchen, windows that open for fresh air, and plenty of hot water. It is spacious and comfortable. It is also well-decorated and clean. The building is very old by American standards. There is no elevator, so you have to be willing to walk four flights of stairs. For me this was a bonus after eating in Lyon! There is a bit of noise at night from people on the street below. I loved this - I find it soothing. But if you're someone who needs absolute quiet to sleep, be aware. Over all this was an extremely positive experience.
