Anne-Charlotte's friend Susan welcomed us to the apartment, allowing us to drop our bags early, even though the apartment was not quite ready. That was fine by us, so we went and did a little neighborhood exploring. When we returned, Susan explained a few things about how things worked.

We failed to ask how the shower worked, and as a result, we wound up taking hotter-than-comfortable showers. We saw another similar system later in our trip, and it all came clear. Be sure you get the briefing on the shower. :)

We also should have asked about the washer-dryer. We were able to wash clothes just fine, but the dry cycle left the clothes hot, but still damp. I'm sure that was operator error, as well.

Apart from that, the space was lovely, if rather compact. The location is just a few blocks from a major shopping center. The bed is comfortable, which is always an important consideration. We went grocery shopping, and cooked most of our meals in the kitchen. All in all, we quite enjoyed our four days in Lyon. We are looking forward to coming back again!
