I gave Laure 5-stars because her home is very unique and in one of the best neighborhoods in Lyon. Yes, there are stairs, and yes, they are difficult at first, but after overcoming jet lag, it does get easier to go up and down. I wish we listened to Laure's recommendation to pack light! Both my partner and I are in okay shape, but we did have to stop a couple of times when climbing up to catch our breaths. The view and the garden will make you feel like you are in a heavenly oasis above it all, especially with the smell of the flowers and the sound of the birds. We loved walking to the historic quarter of Lyon where we found great wine, food, and fresh bread close by. Please note that if you arrive on Sunday, like we did, some stores and restaurants weren't open on Sunday - Tues. And feel free to sleep in since most places aren't open until after 10am or 12pm. Fortunately, lots of places do stay open later!
We stayed in the studio attached to the patio, and there is another rental right above, so we did share the patio with the other couple staying upstairs. I think it would be fun to rent both units with another friend so you can still have your own space, but also have a common area to hang out.
As noted in the listing, there is no WiFi so we added an international day pass via AT&T to our phone plan, then for only $10 a day, we had unlimited data and calling from my phone. Extremely convenient to have a data plan when navigating all around Lyon, especially since we needed to use our Google maps and also so we could rent scooters.
We loved Lyon very much. It was our first time, but it won't be our last!
