What a perfect introduction to Lyon! Stéphanie's flat is magically fresh and spirited with pleasant touches that reflect her talent for design and decor. The building, itself, is a great example of Lyon's unique and impressive re-purposing of former factory spaces, and you will feel the charm as soon as you enter the courtyard. Even better than the space is Stéphanie, herself. She is full of life and loves her city. She is very generous with her knowledge and guidance, and provides a great collection of materials and maps that go beyond what a Google map or internet search would reveal. There are plenty of things to do in the vibrant Croix-Rousse, but public transportation is nearby and easy to access for all parts of the city. I simply could not have had a better experience, and for anyone who is up to climbing the beautiful stone stairs, you will be rewarded with this stay!
