La Suite Bibliothèque apartment is a charming place for a short stay in Lyon. It's located in a renovated historical building few steps away from the lively Rue St-Jean but still in a quiet spot to have a good night sleep. The apartment is great value for money considering the location and the charm of the place.
The only issue I had was with the check-in and the communication. Following the instructions I received, I was supposed to do an autonomous check-in and get the key from a keybox in the courtyard. However, when I arrived at the apartment at 9.45pm the keybox was empty. We tried to contact the owner via AirBnB messaging service as well as the AirBnB support without any result. We were stranded and were starting looking at hotels to spend the night when I received at 11.20pm a call from the agency managing the flat. They gave us an alternative accommodation for that night in another flat. However, this was not of the same standard as La Suite Bibliothèque apartment (e.g. we had a sofa bed instead of a proper bed) and in a noisy courtyard above a restaurant. The following day we spoke again with the agency to get the key of La Suite Bibliothèque apartment and asked for a refund for the first night as the apartment was not of the same standard of what we paid. The agency was quite aggressive when we mentioned the refund but after a long heated discussion we finally agreed to spend the second the night at La Suite Bibliothèque apartment and request a refund via AirBnB. I wrote to the AirBnB support and explained the issue and after few days we got a refund for the first night.
I would recommend anyone booking this apartment to get a phone number in case you end up in a similar situation (it was my bad not to ask for it when I received the instructions for the check-in). I also want to stress that the issue was with the agency managing the flat and not with the owner or with the apartment (which is beautiful).
