Extremely central location in Lyon, this apartment is within walking distance of good restaurants, the Tourist Information Centre and Vieux Lyon, Metro as well as lots of shopping. The bedroom is on the backside of the apartment so it is extremely quiet. Check-in was seamless and we were able to drop our bags while they finished cleaning. The apartment is on the 5th floor but there is an elevator so it's not a problem. Communication with the host was easy and when we discovered we had left an iPad in the apartment they were extremely helpful.
The kitchen is adequately stocked for making simple meals. We appreciated having a Nespresso maker so we could have a cup of coffee in the morning. A good bakery, Le Pain des Jacobians, is about a 5 min walk from the apartment as is the Nespresso store for more pods. The bed is on the firm side by North American standards as are most beds in Europe in our experience. It was chilly on a couple of days but there were several duvets so sleeping wasn't a problem. Wifi was great and there is lots of room to spread out with a comfortable sofa, reading chairs and large dining table. The apartment manual is comprehensive, including recommendations for restaurants. We made use of the washing machine and drying rack although we had to use Google Translate to be sure which cycle to use. All in all, a great place to stay in Lyon and we highly recommend you book this apartment if it is available.
