Read this before you book!! TLDR: The Luckey team was very responsive, however the actual apartment left a lot to be desired.
Disclaimer: We booked extremely last minute, so our experience may have been a one-off where they were not able to clean/prepare the apartment fully, however I’d imagine most of our experience will likely be consistent with yours should you choose to stay here.
Our biggest complaints:
The apartment itself was not the cleanest. When we were setting up the foldout couch, we discovered crumbs and hair on (and around) the mattress. Additionally, there was a fine layer of dust over everything in the apartment.
The wifi network the host provided did not show up when we tried to connect. After contacting the host, we had to turn it on ourselves (it appeared under a separate network name) and perform several factory resets in order for it to function. Even after resetting the wifi, it was still extremely problematic and worked about 30% of the time, maybe even less. A word of caution for international travelers—the SIM card my sister and I both got was through Orange, and our cellular data was extremely spotty in the apartment (even though it worked completely fine in museums and restaurants all around Lyon).
Aside from a large window (which was beautiful) facing the alleyway, there was no ventilation in the apartment. Since there were no fans or AC, it became pretty stuffy if the window was left closed for too long.
The apartment is on the first floor of the building and right above a fairly busy alley. All through the first night and morning of our stay, we could hear voices and club-like music from surrounding residents and businesses. Additionally, having the aforementioned window open all the time to prevent humidity in the apartment meant that we constantly enjoyed the scent of garbage, cigarette smoke, and sometimes—it seemed—urine. The location of the apartment almost felt tooo central.
On a positive note, we appreciated how the apartment was less than a minute walk away from the plaza containing the famous Bartholdi Fountain located in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. Also, while not an easy trek, we were able to walk to the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière in about half an hour. There are also a lot of great shops and restaurants located within a ~10 minute walking radius.
We were not allowed late checkout, however the Luckey team allowed us to leave our bags in the entryway of the apartment for 3 hours after our checkout time, which redeemed the experience, slightly.
