My best friend and I stayed at Marie's flat in Vieux Lyon for a week this fall and it was an even nicer experience than we could have hoped! When I arrived I was absolutely delighted (my friend arrived before me and shared that check in was seamless). The flat manages to be airy and cozy at the same time, with large beautiful windows facing onto the cobblestone streets. The bathroom was well set up with baskets for us to help organize our toiletries, the shower was lovely (great water pressure!), the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped. A fully equipped kitchen was extremely helpful because we were also right across the river from the Marché Saint Antoine, an absolute must visit, especially on the weekend! For the meals we didn't cook, we had plenty of wonderful restaurant options just a block or two away (plus plenty of bars). The location of the flat was an easy walk to Place Bellecour (and all the shopping nearby), and a quick bike ride to Brotteaux for plenty of other great restaurants and bars (there's a Velo bike stand less than 40 feet from the flat!). The location really is right in the middle of it all, ESPECIALLY on weekends! The hustle and bustle of Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening was exciting and so fun to be a part of but do keep in mind you can still hear some of the revelry in the flat after you've retired for the evening.
We really did get so lucky in choosing this flat in Lyon and I don't think anyone could go wrong staying here, whether its for a few nights, a week, or more. I hope to stay there again when I return to Lyon!!
