We were two couples who stayed in Christelle's place during Fete des Lumieres (Festival of Lights). It was a great base for the festival. I liked the location being up between Croix-Paquet and Croix-Rousse metro stops as it had some nice views over some of the city. Also, at the Croix-Rousse metro stop is where one end of the famous Sunday market begins and it is not far from one of the famous murals, Mur des Canuts. The location also isn't too far if you wanted to walk down into the central city (and you can take the Metro back up the hill if it's too much effort to walk back up). The home was perfect size for two couples. We didn't use any of the kitchen facilities but if you wanted to cook something it looks good for this. There's a slight smell of cigarette smoke in the main area but not in the bedrooms. The beds and bathroom were good, no complaints there (you do need to hold up a shower head with your own hand though).
