Lyon is beautiful and I have enjoyed my trip, but Nil’s garden was probably the best part of my trip. Best place to stay in Lyon. If your on the fence about where to stay, choose this apartment. You will not regret it.
The location is magnificent, Croix-Rousse is my new favorite neighborhood. The views are incredible and close to everything. There is a street market just outside the apartment every morning, except Monday. I found it easy to get to center town or everywhere really, on the C13 bus line. But the walk down into center city was quite beautiful with so many great shops. You will even find some beautiful unexpected sights, I found a smaller Roman amphitheater, an old fortress and it’s close to the Tarboules. The walk up is an adventure, even the climb is enjoyable and I’m not a fit person.
The apartment was a dream. Everything you need, even the things you wouldn’t think of were easily accessible, like a great basket to use when shopping at the market. Nil furnished the apartment beautifully and the small touches were thoughtful. Like the lightning, I liked having the option of lower or warmer lights in the evening. Of course the garden, was beyond what I expected, even in November. It was a beautiful ritual to enjoy some coffee outside in the morning before my day.
If and when I return, I hope this apartment will be available to me. I apologize for such a long review, but I find reviews really helpful when choosing an Airbnb. I was very impressed with this home and adored my time here.
