Laurent's place is definitely a great option to stay in Lyon and I would definitely return next time! The highlights were that it was very spacious, clean, had a great view and a private parking space.
The duplex apartment is very spacious and was more than enough space for myself and my father in separate rooms (1x double bed on the top floor and 1x single bed on the bottom floor). Both beds were also surprisingly comfortable. The balcony benefits from spectacular views of the Saône river and Lyon and fits two people on the terrace table.
We stayed for 2 nights over a weekend and were happy about the little noise there was on the street yet still having a close proximity to Vieux Lyon (10 mins by foot) and across the Saône river to areas abundant with typical Lyonaise 'Bouchons'. The location was also great as we had planned to go to the Bocuse restaurant and took us just under 15 mins by car.
We were also able to use Laurent's private parking space which is located in an enclosed courtyard behind the building with direct access to the building. This was really great!
The kitchen was very well equipped and filled with all the essentials and more. It was also a plus that the kitchen was fitted with high-quality finishings and we would have loved to stay longer to cook! The two shower rooms were also of high quality and with perfect lighting at the mirrors. Perfect for applying make-up!
Once again, this is a great apartment for Lyon, especially if you would like to explore the old part of the town and looking for a spacious place to relax in between.
