Le Petit Calou couldn’t be more perfect! Its location is ideal - you are in the heart of Vieux Lyon, surrounded by winding cobbled streets, interesting shops and restaurants, history and museums, beautiful churches - everything is a short walk away.
Public transport is also great - the Vieux Lyon metro station (and funicular) is super close. Lots of other places of interest are only a nice walk away too. Olivier and Anne-Sophie gave us great directions from the airport as well.
The apartment itself is cosy, on the fourth floor of a building dating back to the middle ages. The steps up are winding and in places steep, so take care, but it’s worth it to have breakfast on the balcony and see the basilica peeping over the rooftops. This apartment is not for anyone with accessibility issues or who struggles with stairs.
Olivier and Anne-Sophie have furnished it really nicely, and it has a great kitchenette and laundry facilities. But most wonderful were their tips for the area, which were thoughtful and useful.
Overall a great stay at a fab price, just make sure to expect noise when there’s a world cup final on! (Or when the street cleaners come by!)
