This was my second stay in Odile's apartment. The first time was with my wife for a few days about 3 years ago, but this time I was in Lyon on my own for 11 days for work and I was very keen to stay here again. I travel a lot for work and holidays and this is one of the best apartments I have ever stayed in. The apartment is full of character and very atmospheric, with amazing wooden beams, and you enter through a traboule and up a winding stone staircase. The apartment is very well located in Vieux Lyon; being directly on Rue St Jean, yet is very quiet as the bedroom is at the back and the windows in the front room are very soundproof. The main sights and many restaurants are all within walking distance. The apartment is very well fitted out with a washing machine/dryer and many kitchen appliances, including two types of coffee machine - a real plus for coffee lovers. The apartment was spotlessly clean and Odile came and changed the sheets during my stay. Communications with Odile were excellent. On my last night after our work commitments had finished I had several other international colleagues over for a celebratory drink before we went to dinner at a local restaurant and they were all amazed at the apartment, especially compared with the small hotel rooms they were staying in. I will definitely return to Odile's superb apartment when I next visit Lyon.
