Needed a place for one night (though we could have easily spent several days in Emma's flat).

Came into Lyon late (after 20:00), but that was no problem for the host. Finding the place with GPS was difficult as our GPS wanted to take us through streets that were pedestrian only *or* oneway the other way ... we found the entrance.

Waited a bit for Emma and her two children to get there - but as we followed her, we realized why it took her so long ... courtyard to spiral stairs - to courtyard - to spiral stair (by this point we're thinking there's a princess at the top and we'll be fighting dragons - long steep stairs - and then we arrived. She showed us the 30second path to the *other* entrance on Montée du Chemin -Neuf.

Clean flat with everything you need. Roomy with plenty of chairs - sofa - dinner table - etc etc. The pictures are representative of the flat - nothing too modern or Ikea ... just simply comfortable.

Great location - friendly host - many beds - kitchen very usable with all you need ...
