My husband and I absolutely loved this apartment. Normally we think of our stays as a place to sleep and not much else, but here we truly felt at home. We happened to be in Lyon during a very hot spell, so we found ourselves staying in a lot more than usual to escape the sun. We enjoyed our hosts’ record collection and their selection of cult-classic horror films during the hottest part of the afternoons, and it afforded us some much-needed downtime- something we hadn’t realized we were missing smack dab in the middle of a month-long trip traveling around Europe. Mila and Julien were away on vacation when we arrived, but Julien’s mother met us at the flat to let us in and she was so kind and welcoming. The apartment was beautifully decorated and felt both spacious and cozy, and it was easy to walk around town from there, despite the 4 flights of ancient stone spiral stairs. (That said, it should be noted that this place would not be good for anyone with mobility issues or even a lot of luggage, but we didn’t mind it.) We stayed in a lot of Airbnb’s and hotels on this vacation, and this was the only one I wanted to move into full time. I will definitely return if I have the chance.
