My family and I stayed in this apartment for a week during the Women’s World Cup and it was the best Airbnb experience we have ever had.
The apartment is even more charming than it seems in pictures. It is incredibly roomy for a French apartment, with plenty of spacious light filled rooms. The apartment is also very elegantly fit out, and included every household item you could need, from a ironing board, to fans, a soda stream and Nespresso machine. We really felt completely at ease, and like we were staying at a family member’s house.
The apartment is also in a fantastic location. It is right on the edge of Vieux-Lyon, so close to tourists sights like Fourvière. However, it’s located on a quiet street so it doesn’t feel too touristy and it is very easy to cross the river onto Presque’Île.
However, the absolute best thing about this apartment was the hosts. Guillaume was very communicative both before and during our stay, and was very helpful. We were greeted at the apartment by the owner and his daughter, who were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They knew we were coming for the World Cup and so they went out of their way to provide us with lots of information about getting to the stadium. They also took their time to give us lots of recommendations about things to do in Lyon. We were also blown away by all the effort the hosts had gone into to prepare the apartment for guests. There was lots of written instructions for using the tv, oven and other appliances. The fridge was generously stocked and the hosts had even left us with a Lyon pastry speciality and home grown cherries from their garden. We were in Lyon during a heatwave, and the hosts even brought an extra fan from their house to keep us cool.
We would recommend this apartment to friends and will definitely stay there again if we return to Lyon.
