The apartament is very well located and you are basically in the center of Lyon’s action. It is in the 3rd floor of a what seemed to be a historical building, but be aware that there is no elevator. You are close to a lot of attractions and nice restaurants and a supermarket is just 2 min away. Regarding check in, although I specifically mentioned in advance that we will be checking in at 15 PM, the keys were not where they were supposed to be. I called the host and found out that the cleaning team wasn’t done yet so we had to wait around 30 more minutes.
This would have been fine I guess if the apartament was indeed spotless when we got in, but unfortunately it wasn’t the case.
It probably had been cleaned in a hurry with no attention to details. The carpet in the bathroom was honestly dirty and definitely needed to be washed, the shower head was a rusty old thing. When going upstairs to the bed we also found a lot of dust everywhere. We found in the bathroom empty bottles of shampoo and shower gel probably left by previous visitors. Luckily we had all the necessary cleaning tools there so we took matters into our own hands and dusted the place since we didn’t want to wait for another cleaning team to come. Another thing is that we only received one big towel and one small towel although we were two people staying for 7 nights so it was definitely not enough. Other than that, the apartment is very well equipped with everything we needed for a week stay including a washing machine which came really handy. A bit more attention should pe paid by host to consumables like dish washing liquid (existing bottle was basically empty, had to buy one) and trash bags. TV worked well, but a lot of channels are on demand. At night, especially during weekends, it can get quite noisy outside, but if we shut the windows, the problem was solved. Not sure if this works during summer as the apartament (especially upstairs area) can get quite hot.
Overall, it was a nice stay and we enjoyed the the apartment itself, but some things definitely need improvement for the future.
