Probably my favorite AirBnB rental to date. Valerie’s apartment is located in Old Town Lyon, and the apartment itself, as advertised, is in a historic building converted into contemporary flats. The interior reflects this, displaying a nice contrast of rustic and modern. In terms of size, the space can easily accommodate 2 people but for a solo traveler living out of a backpack like me, it was gigantic (a good thing)!
Because the apartment building is located steps away from many bars and restaurants, it can get noisy into the night. The apartment’s sound-proofing resolved the issue for me, but those especially sensitive to noise may want to consider ear plugs.
Another thing to note - taxi’s and Uber’s might not be able to drop you off in front of the building as it’s located on a cobblestone street for walking, in which case, one would have to walk but it’s a city block tops. Just make sure you have an umbrella if it’s raining.
As a host, Valerie was responsive and made me feel welcome. She exercised patience with me while I circumnavigated the logistics of having a pocket WiFi delivered, and picked up.
Overall a memorable stay, and worth every penny.
