My wife and I really enjoyed staying at Guillaume’s place. He is very accommodating and friendly, doing everything possible to make the stay go well. There was a minor mixup with the check-out time for the previous guest but Guillaume and his wife worked extra hard to get the place ready for our check-in. He gave great recommendations and tips for the neighborhood and offered to research our train departure schedule to to see if it was affected by the French national rail strike.
The location is very convenient, just across the river from Vieux Lyon, and two blocks from Place des Terreaux and the Hotel de Ville metro stop. We walked to all the interesting sights, including Place Bellecour. The immediate neighborhood has many unique shops and restaurants. Guillaume recommended a bakery around the corner, Antoinette Pain & Brioche, that is the best I visited in Europe. There is also a grocery store one block away.
The apartment building has an elevator, so no problem getting the luggage up to the apartment. The apartment is roomy and very clean, with a nice modern decor. Appliances are new with the best step-by-step instructions on using them I’ve seen. The clothes washer and dryer (!) are shared between multiple apartments but there was never a problem in finding a time slot to use them.
I highly recommend Guillaume’s place!
