Anne’s place is fantastic. You cannot pick a better location in Lyon. The view of the basilica from the living room and bedroom is as good as it gets. You are just steps away from multiple Michelin-starred restaurants and a fantastic boulangerie.
The apartment has great amenities and was very clean. The Nespresso machine came in handy for morning and afternoon caffeine fixes. We did not use the laundry machine, but it was fully stocked with detergent and would’ve come in handy had we needed it.
Two things that are not downsides, per se, but are worth mentioning. First, it is a 4th floor walk up. Be prepared to take a few deep breaths when you get to the top, especially if you’re carrying luggage or shopping bags like we were. Second, this a vibrant area of Vieux Lyon, so there is a bit of street noise. If you’re trying to go to sleep before 10 pm or sleep past 8 am, the windows will probably need to be closed.
I highly recommend Anne’s place to anyone spending time in Lyon.
