This apartment is nicely located, close to bakeries (for your morning pasteries) and a buss stop. The bed is comfortable and the apartment overal is quite nice.
Some incidents did occur that lead us to be more critical in our review. To start with, the host called us about an hour and a half before the start of our 'rental' period. In this call the host spoke about the rain damage to the paint. The rain damage was, of course, no problem for us. Afterwards, we got a text from the host an hour before arriving in Lyon (after eight hours of taveling), that we could not enter the apartment until 18:00 in the evening (instead of the original 15:00 in the advertisment), because of cleaning. There had been some sort of problem with the cleaning of another rental property or something, which had caused the delay. Whilst this is inconvenient and irritating after a long day of traveling, we decided not to make a big deal out of it because stuff like this can happen. We decided to spend the time on a terras and drink some wine.
The host acknowledged it was inconvenient and promised to do better in the future.
After six, we went to the apartment, to have a quick shower after the journey and prepare for dinner. We immediately noticed
the apartment was not entirely clean: the shower showed signs of a lack of cleaning, and there was dust on several surfaces, but most annoyingly: not all the stuff as advertised in the airbnb page was there. There was no soap, no shampoo, there were only two towels for two persons for two weeks! Also, there was hardly any toilet paper. When we contacted the host about this, asking what to do, we hardly got any response. The host showed no initiative in solving the problems, or even talking about it with us. This was especially irritating, as the host told us they 'would try to do better' after the delay because of cleaning at the start of our stay. At the end, we never fully got an answer how to solve the problems, so we bought everything ourselves. Regarding the towels the host said they only give two because there is a washingmachine. But then again, there are no means to clean the towels in the machine, because here is no soap and no detergent. Of course these issues are small in isolation and would have never lead us to even mention them in our review to start with, had everything else gone smooth. But these things did not occur in isolation, and all together have caused quite some frustration.
