We had a very nice weekend in Lyon at David's place. We liked many things about the studio. The location was good and it was a comfortable place to be for the weekend.
There were also several things in the apartment that need improvement. I have let David know about these and hopefully they are fixed for the next guests. Many of these things should not come up if the apartment is managed closely, in my experience.
Key Pros: The apartment had all of the basics such as spices, detergents, trash bags, etc that when not present, can be really frustrating to have to purchase. The space was comfortable and in a great location. The beds and linens were very comfortable and functional. The overall vibe in the studio was good.
Key Cons: Most of these can be fixed, I believe. The stairway was loose and shifted when walking up or down the stairs. The shower head holder was broken and the shower drain was very slow. The locks on the door were difficult to use from the outside. The overall cleanliness was ok but could be better (floors and carpets). The only thing that cannot be fixed but should be noted clearly is that the loft area is approximately 1.7m at the ceiling and 1.5m at the large beams. Guests have to pay attention when moving around the loft area.
