Sophie's studio room was an awesome place to stay in Lyon. It's practically a one-room apartment, with an induction stove, pots+pans, stove-top coffee maker, and kitchen sink. There are also a range of basic ingredients supplied (pasta, lentils, olive oil, as well as coffee for the coffee maker), so it was easy to cook some simple meals while I was staying there. It's in a nice quiet neighbourhood as well, and the Croix-Rousse area has a rich history stemming from the community of silk-weavers that inhabited the district in the 1800s - I would definitely recommend a visit to the nearby 'La Maison des Canuts', a museum that provides a great overview of their trade and history. Staying in an apartment typical of the area was a great way to feel some kind of a connection to the history! I would highly recommend staying here.
