Through canceled flights and family emergencies that cut my trip short Sarah managed to make Lyon feel like a home. Not only is she welcoming and kind but invested in you having a great time. She offers suggestion, let’s you borrow her books, and is happy to chat about all things art and philosophy. Especially when I had to leave abruptly, Sarah made sure to tell me to focus on what’s important, not worry about the checkout process, and arranged without me asking for a refund of the days I wasn’t there for. The apartment itself is very cute. The bed is comfortable, cozy, and the apartment and neighborhood felt very safe even as a single woman. There are MANY amazing restaurants and cafes within walking distance. And it has more of a neighborhood feel than other parts of the city. Don’t forget to check out the market too! All in all, this apartment will be my first call when I get to return to Lyon!
