We stayed in an alternative apartment with similar configuration, but facing the road. Hortense arranges this for us instead of cancelling when maintenance was required on the main apartment prior to our arrival.
The apartment building is convenient to buses, trams, and only a few stops from Perrache Metro. Perfect for getting into the historical parts of Lyon.
We stayed during a heat wave, but the apartment configuration allowed us some privacy to open the main door for air flow.
Hortense went out of her way to help on check in and when I left an item behind in the apartment.
