We highly recommend this apartment in Lyon! It is a lovely, large space, tastefully and simply decorated. We were a family of 6 -- grandparents, parents and children, and we had plenty of room to spread out comfortably. The washroom is large, with a full (extra long) bathtub, shower and two sinks. The water pressure is good and there was enough hot water for everyone to bathe without getting cold water. There is plenty of room for kids and parents to be in the bathroom together. The beds are very comfortable (even the sofa beds in the common areas), and the linens are lovely. The kitchen is large enough and well equipped to prepare meals, and the dining room has plenty of room for all to be comfortable while dining. The apartment feels much bigger than the photos show. There are 2 different and spacious balconies/terraces on the apartment, one with a fabulous view of the city and sunset over the hills. All 6 of us had dinner one evening on the terrace next to the dining room. Felipe and Beatrice are kind, welcoming hosts, and all communication with them was quick and easy. We were warmly welcomed upon our arrival, even though we arrived a bit later than expected (due to traffic congestion.)
The location is ideal, on the presqu'il of central Lyon, with many shops just steps from the apartment -- groceries, wine, bakeries, deli shops, cafes and a few restaurants (pizza, kebab, Bouchon Lyonnais). It is just steps from the tram line and train station,and walking distance to many museums, galleries and shopping areas. It is convenient for public transport, but also reasonable walking distance to many things in Lyon. There is parking in the underground garage. It was a tight fit for us (driving a VW Touran, and being used to larger North American parking spaces), but we managed to squeeze in with no problems. We communicated with the hosts in French, but learned they speak English fluently, too. We highly recommend this apartment to all who wish to stay in Lyon, and will definitely make personal recommendations to our friends and family. Thank you Felipe and Beatrice!
