Xavier is a wonderful host, quick responses, good recommendations for local restaurants near the apartment. The apartment is very charming and has a great location near Croix Rousse and the river Saone. The view of the cathedral on the hill is nice if you look out the window. We highly recommend this place but should note its location on a slight hill--there are two flights of stairs from the park garden outside up to the apartment building. Inside the apartment building there is an elevator, great if you have luggage. Kitchen was perfect, we cooked one night instead of eating out. And there is a farmers market on Rue de Croix Rousse. The bohemian neighborhood is great if you enjoy street art and outdoor cafes and bars.
