We had an extremely pleasant overnight stay in this charming apartment on a whistle stop in Lyon en route to Provence. We were met upon arrival by Alexandre's 'Papa', who greeting us warmly, reserved a parking spot in front of the house (by actually waiting for us in it) and showed us the amenities.

The fridge was stocked with complimentary beer, water and soft drinks and there was a large bowl of oranges for freshly squeezed juice at breakfast, as well as a decent coffee machine.

The apartment itself is spacious and comfortable with a bohemian appeal and is much more beautiful than shown in the pictures in my opinion. It is also well appointed for travel around the city by metro as well as being close to good local stores and restaurants.

My husband and I stayed here with our 2 children aged 5 and 8 and found it to be safe and suitable for them also. They were thoroughly delighted by our visit!

We'd certainly book again.
