On our arrival, Nicolas carried a 25-kilogram suitcase up three flights of stairs, which alone makes him a superhost in my opinion. He helped us with the luggage when we left, too. Apart from the stairs, which will challenge anyone who is not fully mobile, opening the front door also requires the use of force. The apartment itself was excellent, looked ‘as new’ and was spotlessly clean. The bed provided good support, the oven worked and Nicolas left us some coffee capsules for the espresso machine. There is a nice view of Fourvière illuminated at night. There are food shops nearby but they are not much good. We recommend the basement of Monoprix at the Cordeliers metro, and the boulanger around the corner in the rue St-Jean. Be wary of the creperie stalls in the neighbourhood at the weekends – one of them gave us a bout of diarrhoea. This accommodation is highly recommended for the quality of the apartment and the generosity of the host.
