Overall the apartment is centrally located and offers spacious sitting room and main bedroom as well as efficient air conditioning and a nice balcony, however there are some issues so I will break down this review into positives and negatives.
Positives:
- lovely example of a period property in Lyon, the elevator was very useful, the balcony is spacious enough to sit. Very grateful for air conditioning in two rooms as well as the high ceilings and general size of the living room. The kitchen is well stocked with cutlery, plates, cooking tools as well as a coffee machine, good oven and hob. The wifi is fast and the smart TV is good. The general decor of the apartment it very pleasing and the main bedroom was very comfortable and spacious. The view from the window is lovely and you step outside into a square where you can directly see Forviere ans the river, and there are many restaurants and cafes within 5 minutes, the area also felt safe.
Negatives:
- the level of cleanliness was below expected. The mattress had no protector cover on it and was stained in many places. Some of the appliances do not work properly, the tumble dryer is broken which I now see was pointed out in an earlier review and the shower fitting was slightly broken and difficult to use. The bathroom sink was blocked and filled up everyday. There are also several mouse traps in the apartment. The second bedroom is small for two adults and shabby compared to the main bedroom and the rest of the apartment. I think the bathroom and second bedroom needs renovation to reflect the price of this apartment.
