From the moment we made contact with this host, everything was handled smoothly and conveniently. Upon check-in, he met us at the apartment and gave us a thorough tour of the beautiful property that it is. The location is beyond superb and the view across the Saône River to the old city is quite remarkable day and night. The basilica sits high atop a hill & at night is dramatically lit. You can walk to many excellent restaurants, cafés, bars and a superb grocery store as well as other incidental stores and shops, dry cleaning, laundromat if you need it, etc. (There is a washing machine in the unit.) The place is tastefully decorated in a kind of classic, old world charm and the kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need to make small meals, etc. There’s a lovely Nespresso coffee machine. It is an elegant, classic older apartment building but the windows are double or triple pane and lock out all the nighttime noise if you, like we, care about quiet for sleeping. The bed is very comfortable & the spacious bathroom has a great shower with good water pressure. I would absolutely reserve this apartment again for future visits to beautiful Lyon and I recommend it very highly.
