Location, Location, Location! This apartment is just a few steps away from Place Bellacour, the largest public square in Europe, and the subway system. And minutes by foot from the daily outdoor market along the Saone and the bridges to the Vieux Lyon.
Once you have accessed your way into the complex, there are 46 hard stone stairs to the apt. No lift. Entry is by bluetooth app into the apartment...easy once you do it once.
The apartment is obviously an investment property for the owner, renovated, sleek and modern. Do not expect a comfy, cushy home or amenities of a hotel. The furnishings are new and spartan/IKEA efficient.
All of the images on the website are accurate. Kitchen is well equipped with full size frig, microwave/oven combo, induction rangetop, toaster, Krups nespresso machine - but the restaurants in this city (the gastronomic capital of France) are incredible and diverse - why would you want to cook?!
Counter has 4 stools, no dining table.
Toilet room is at end of entry hall with an 11 inch step up...careful during the night.
2 sinks in the bathroom, but the counter is awkward and not much space for your toiletries. Hair dryer provided.
The shower is great, but no hand rail or soap holder (shampoo , etc. goes on the floor).
NO FULL LENGTH MIRROR
Mattress is acceptable. There is plenty of clothing storage in bedroom. Iron provided.
The couch in living area folds flat to become a bed. Hardwood floors, minimal rugging.
2 large flat screen TVs.
Sebastien was immediately available by text or voice phone and quite accomodating when we asked in mid week to have the towels changed. Yes, you must ask as only 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels are provided (no wash cloths). He will also have the maid clean for you if you wish during your stay.
Stay in Sebastien's apartment for the location and his accomodations.
