First of all, Sylvie's appartment is wonderful! We loved the contrast of being in an old-looking building but with all the comfort of a modern appartment: big shower, comfortable bed, huge TV, fully equipped kitchen with breakfast included... We really liked the location as well and nearby you can find all kinds of shops, restaurants, jazz clubs...
We were received by Sylvie's daughter Adeline, who very kindly adapted to our arrival time. She gave us all the information about the apartment. She also provided us with maps of Lyon, a French dictionary and a bottle of Bordeaux wine as a special welcome for being their first guests :)
In summary, we don't see any reason not to stay at Sylvie's place. We only stayed two nights but this is the perfect example where you'd like to stay in the city longer if only to enjoy the appartment more!
Thank you very much Sylvie & Adeline
