We stayed in Maxime's apartment over the Easter weekend, and had a brilliant time. The check-in was straightforward and easy, and the hosts were flexible to our arrival and departure times. The apartment is in a cool old building in traditional Croix-Rousse style, with high ceilings and updated, modern fittings. It was warm and comfortable for four people, although the second 'bedroom' was a bit tricky to get to with the wall ladder, so maybe not ideal for those without good mobility (or a fear of heights!). The location was ideal, close to the centre as well as Croix Rousse, with lots of great bars and restaurants nearby as well as coffee shops and little boutiques.
The only slight issue we had during our stay was parties in the apartment above. On the Friday night there was extremely loud music, shouting, stomping and banging from 11pm until 7am, and another party on the Sunday night that stopped around 3am. On both nights we struggled to sleep because of the noise. The kitchen was also quite minimally equipped, and it would have been useful to have some water glasses and a corkscrew - instead we bought one and left it there for future guests!
