My husband and I loved staying at this lovely home!
Lyon is such a fun city and this apartment was right in the center of it all, which made it the perfect place to really be able to experience the excitement of the city. As an Interior designer I was drawn to the well designed apartment with luxurious feeling finishes as well as the warmth and beauty of the original old charm of the building details. The ambiance is perfectly fitting for being in the center of an urban city as well as the history and charm that Lyon has. The view of the city streets really is the icing on the cake!
Philippe, Laurence's husband, was a great host, greeting us on arrival and showing us everything in the apartment that we would need! He was very friendly and helpful which is always appreciated especially when traveling in another country.
Lyon is definitely a walking city so leave the car behind, especially with being centrally located. There is an elevator that was helpful with getting up to the 6th floor with luggage, but was small as typical of old European buildings (no problems fitting though). The streets are loud at night (especially for the weekend) with the fun of people eating and drinking in the streets so may be an issue for those that are light sleepers or aren't used to a city. We loved it though and slept great in the very comfortable bed.
Overall I can't say enough good things about this home and would totally recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in the heart of Lyon!
