Looking at the picture of the living room you think this will be the perfect spot for your visit to Lyon. It is in a wonderful location in the heart of the old section of Lyon and convenient to transit. This is where the perfection ends.
When we entered, we were overwhelmed by the musty, closed in smell in the apartment. The kitchen is small and has very little in the way of cutlery. The bedroom was dark and the bed took up most of the room. The closet was off its tracks and the window (the only one to open in the apartment) couldn't be opened more than a couple of inches because the apartment is on the ground floor of a very busy street. The 2nd bed was a sofa bed which was difficult to open and when open took the entire living space. The bathroom was the final straw. Up a step, the toilet is in a tiny cubicle lit by a single light bulb and with mould on the wall. The apartment feels like it has never been lived in.
We were taken in by the photo and location and were neglectful in our research. Since doing so on my return I see that others have complained about the odour and mould. As we didn't stay, I can't comment on the heat and nighttime light but notice that although several complained about there being no fan, Michael never took steps to correct this. I think this apartment should be taken off the airbnb site. As a last comment my friend and I appreciate very much how airbnb handled our situation.
