The great: the apartment is in a perfect location and is nicely furnished. Lots of food and beverage options within minutes and exceptional bakeries. You can walk into the centre of Lyon in under 10 minutes. There is a lot of night life but the apartment is quiet. The internet connection is very fast, which is helpful for business travellers.
The ‘not great: The apartment hadn’t been cleaned and the lock box to access the keys didn’t work. There was a concierge that got things sorted and cleaners showed up to do the apartment after I arrived. Laundry is listed under the amenities but it seems the machine has been broken for a while. It had a sign put on it, which was disappointing. Was part of the reason I booked this apartment.
*There is a laundromat a few blocks away.
Note: this apartment is very hot in the summer. Unbelievably hot. France was having a heatwave but the apartment was an oven. Recommendation has been made to the owner to make accommodations to address this. I think in other seasons it would be fine.
