I rented Hamid's apartment for my parents who were visiting my husband and I in Croix-Rousse. Although Hamid was not able to meet us, he arranged for a friend to meet us upon arrival and give an overview of the apartment, amenities, location, etc! It was a very warm welcome and she even left water and cider in the fridge for us! Even though my parents had us as hosts in the city, Hamid stayed in touch to make sure everything was going well and to see if we had any questions throughout our stay. The apartment is exactly as described in the photos. Very spacious. It's very well located with lots of activity around and near the metro, but the apartment is in the back of a quaint courtyard and very quiet, away from the noise of the street. My parents were very happy with their stay and we definitely recommend staying in Hamid's apartment!
