Glad I found this place. If this is your first time in Lyon, there are essentially two parts to the city, La Croix-Rousse, and Part Dieu the city. The Croix Rousse is the historic, scenic, really livable "Bohemian" part of Lyon originally founded by the Romans on top of the hills overlooking the city, Part Dieu is the new city below. The house itself is located on a small street 1 block away from the metro station, and near the center of the Croix Rousse main food shopping district with good boucheries, a high end patisserie closeby, and a huge farmers market on the weekends a block away. It was essential for my stay anywhere that I can cook something--a snack, a modest dinner--and the studio apartment with its small, serviceable kitchenette let me do that, to buy and cook what's fresh and available locally. The bed was comfortable, but the comforter on top had a slight body odor when I stayed there, and I didn't have much choice but to use it. Also be aware the bed is located on top of a wooden platform with one small step. In the middle of the night in time I had to get up and I tripped and almost fell through the window, that was scary. There was a very slight dust issue, and the hot water kettle I had to scrub out the mineral build up, but overall comfortable, very quiet place to stay, albeit a little chilly at night. If you have any disabilities climbing stairs, the place is located inside a courtyard after climbing one flight of stairs up from street level. Check in was easy and super simple.
