We spent two weeks at Caroline’s place. It was a very pleasant experience. The flat looks exactly as it appears on the photos. It is clean and has all you need to spend a few days. However, you have to be careful with the low ceiling in some spots or you may end-up bumping your head.
The location is great, nice neighbourhood, close to markets, restaurants and it is only a 10-minute walk from city Hall. There are a number of stairs on the way! Despite that, we walked that stretch every day: beautiful. From city Hall (Hotel de Ville) you can take the Métro (subway/underground) or other public transport to anywhere you want in Lyon.
Tip: If you can’t bare climbing stairs, there is a bus: S6. When going up take it from Rue de La Republique, Direction Croix-Rousse and get-off at Jardin Des Plantes stop. When going down the S6 direction is Hotel de Ville - L. Pradel.
The host, Caroline, is nice and helpful. She gave us several tips about how to get around the area.
