This is the place to stay in Lyon, especially if you come for Fete des Lumières. The apartment is an easy walk to all the main sites and is in a charming older building with lots of architectural interest but it has every modern convenience and a wonderful shower. If you want to cook, you will appreciate that the kitchen has some basic things like sugar, oil, spices, which I don’t often find at Airbnbs. Even better , the host, Emmanuel, is a joy to deal with. We landed in Paris the day the transport strike started, making it very difficult to get to Lyon. I asked dozens of questions about what I should do. Emmanuel always responded promptly and with great kindness. When we arrived, he let us know we could call on him any time if we needed help or had questions. I truly felt like he was someone I could turn if I needed anything. Finally, on the night the people of Lyon put candles in their windows, Emmanuel brought us some candles so we could participate. A lovely gesture that made us feel like locals. In short, the perfect place to stay in Lyon!
