Isabelle's apartment is lovely! Although small, it has everything that you need, including a very well-equipped kitchen. It was spotlessly clean and I loved the recently-refurbished bathroom with the amazing shower. (Note: Brits might find it a bit unusual to have the loo and bathroom separate but this is very French...)

Isabelle was charming and I loved the little touches she left in the flat, like providing the basics in the fridge (including some lovely home-made jam) and kitchen cupboards. Her recommendations were excellent - especially the wonderful Passages bookshop.

Being in Vieux Lyon is great, too. Although the main bit of the 'quartier' is very touristy you can soon find ways to avoid the crowds and get what you need in terms of bread, supermarket shopping etc very close to the apartment. And the city is so walkable. Don't stick with this one area. Strike out and explore!

Merci, Isabelle!
