Although we have never had a bad Airbnb experience, Jérôme’s personal attention and follow up is what made this one of the best. He was there in the street to meet us as soon as we arrived, he took us up to the fourth floor apartment (the lift is very tiny, but a lifesaver with luggage!), and he very thoroughly explained everything about the apartment and the best things to do, the best places to eat (and his recommendations were perfect).
After we explained what we might do, he even sent through more info on the best way to do it, and kept in touch for our whole stay. His attention added real value to our time in Lyon. Thoughtful touches included a bowl of apples and two tickets for using local transport.
The apartment is perfectly located in Vieux Lyon, and feels spacious, even though the overall floor space is not huge. Bedding is comfortable... the only potential problem might be if you are very tall, as the bed is not huge (plenty of width though). Decoration is quite quirky, but not over the top - it’s a pleasant space. Nights were fairly quiet, with the occasional muted noise from people in the square below. If you’re super sensitive to noise, ear plugs would deal with it.
We walked to Halles Paul Bocuse in about 20 minutes, and the funiculars up to the Roman amphitheater and Notre Dame cathedral is quite close. Lyon is a great walking city, and there’s a lot to discover.
