PROS- Place is very stylish (true to pictures) and very clean. Also great location and close to the T1 tram stop so easy to get to both train stations in Lyon. Martine will also prepare tea/coffee for you in the morning.
CONS- While her written rules sound simple enough (no bags/luggage on the bed), we found out through our 3 night stay that she is VERY particular about the space and we felt like imposing housing guests who had to tiptoe around the whole time. I can understand her rules to a certain extent since she lives there as well but it seemed over the top. For example, she does not allow showering after 11pm (even if you only checked in late close to this deadline). She requires a complete wipe down of the bathroom sink/counter after each use. In fact, when we accidentally left a few drops of water behind the faucet on the first day, she asked us to come back to the bathroom and proceeded to demonstrate what she wanted. Also, she seems very sensitive to any loud noise including the sound of closing/opening the bedroom door too loudly. Again, she would gather us and demonstrate how she wanted the bedroom door to be closed. After these two "demonstrations", I became over-the-top careful with everything which was exhausting. Martine's attitude was never negative, but we did not feel very welcomed because we had to be careful about everything (I would take extra time/precaution to wipe down the entire counter after simply washing my hands b/c I felt like she could inspect afterwards). I have stayed in airbnbs with the host living in the space before, but I have never felt the need to be so vigilant. If you are okay with a VERY PARTICULAR host, then this Airbnb is perfect (clean/stylish/good location). While Martine was cordial throughout, we did not have a very relaxing experience. Since she seems very sensitive to noises, we tried to keep quiet even in the bedroom since it shared a wall with her bedroom.
FYI- she speaks only French and smokes in the kitchen. The smell does travel to common spaces, but the bedroom was fine as long as the door was closed. People who are sensitive to cigarette smell should be aware.
