My husband and I are in the apartment now. We do not want to leave. The online pictures are perfect, except they cannot convey the size, comfort and ease you feel here. The apartment is not only beautiful, it comes fully equipped with every little thing you could possibly need or want. The terrace is a wonderland of its own; it is huge for any apartment, accessible by every room, south-facing, very private, lush with greenery and flowers - you get the picture. Sandra is a joy to work with. She responded quickly to every question and (needless) concern I had for months between booking and our arrival. Sandra's mother, Christine, is absolutely charming . She met us at the apartment, showed us around here and also showed us the bus stop and grocery store. You cannot do better in this city. Note that there is a much larger grocery store, if you are going to be cooking, of course, just west of Rue Etienne Richerand on the north side of the street, the U Express, and the Monoprix, the best French grocery store ever, is just a 12 minute walk to Part Dieu, basement level. Hints: Bring something to read if you are not fluent in French, as the TV only gets French Programming, and bring grocery bags for light grocery shopping (There is a grocery cart for bigger grocery purchases in the apartment.), as France is very Eco, and stores do not have bags for you. Walking to and/or from Vieux Lyon down Cours Lafayette allows you to learn the neighborhood and burns off all of those fabulous calories you are going to ingest; we actually lost a few pounds! It is only a 2-mile walk, and walking is very French. Visit Parc de Tete d'Or in the 6th; make it a picnic day. No matter how you spend your day, coming home to Sandra's apartment at the end of it makes all the fatigue and sore feet worth it.
