Marie’s apartment is in a fabulous location within the historic old quarter of Lyon. It is a walkers paradise, wIthin minutes of numerous museums and historic sites. Because it is in a tourist area, it is surrounded by restaurants, cafes and shops with extended opening times.
The apartment itself was clean, functional and nicely furnished. We found it spacious for two people, and it could easily accommodate a family of four or four very close friends.
Marie was very helpful and responsive, but never intrusive. She e-mailed us a couple of times during our seven day stay to make sure we were happy, and provided us with a comprehensive list of local restaurant recommendations and things to do. Marie also made the check in and check out process extremely easy.
The only negatives are:
1) if you are handicapped the two flights of stairs would be virtually impossible.
2) if the nights are warm, there is no air conditioner, so you will need to chose between leaving the windows open (with the associated late night and early morning street noise) or depending on the two portable fans to keep you comfortable.
