Cécile's apartment is in a fabulous spot in Lyon - we were able to walk everywhere. But as mentioned in the ad, it would not be recommended for those who don't like or can't walk hills as there are many, many steps in the area. The apartment is also on the fourth floor without a lift, but we were fine with that. We saw it as a good excuse to exercise!
There are many cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and shops just a short stroll away. We didn't have a car so this was a bonus as we didn't have to use Uber's or taxis until the last day when we left for the station. The area has a bit of an arty feel with many galleries and local artists and feels very safe to walk around.
The apartment is quite spacious and has lovely windows opening out onto the street. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed to be able to cook basic meals. There is a washer/dryer which is also very handy.
Cécile is a kind and thoughtful host. She met us at the station for check-in, was available for questions during the week of our stay and even sent an item back to me that I had left in the apartment.
We had a wonderful week in Lyon. Thank you Cécile for your hospitality.
Tip: there is a fabulous Middle Eastern café just up the hill from the apartment and another Indian café at the bottom of the hill. Both offer good food at reasonable prices if you get tired of French food on your travels.
