This is a nice, quiet apartment and good space for our family of four. There is a nice view of the Saône river and it is walking distance to some nice things to do in Lyon. The check in process was not smooth for us. We were able to find the apartment without incident through instructions on AirBnB but the host relied on a neighbor to greet us. I tried contacting the neighbor multiple times before arrival (as instructed) to let them know when we would be there but never received a response. It took us an hour to get into the apartment when the host finally told us of a different neighbor to ring who finally showed us where the key was. We had heavy luggage and nowhere to go while we waited to get in as it is not located in a location that is THAT close to cafes. We were lucky that this did not happen the following day as it was thunderstorming. We had only 24 hours to spend in Lyon and it was unfortunate that part of it was spent just waiting to get in. The host was kind enough to let us stay a little extra the following day during the storms as we had no where else to go with our luggage during the storms. We are very appreciative of this kind gesture. I still don't know what happened with the check in situation, but the host states it is unusual for this to happen. The host did not always respond in a timely fashion. In our experience, other hosts on AirBnB have been more responsive. I would recommend based on space in apartment but not recommend based on check in situation. If i were to return to Lyon I would look for something a little closer to the sites I want to see.
