We had a great time in Perrine's apartment, and would gladly stay there again.
Here's why:
THE APARTMENT:
Clean, extremely quiet, nicely decorated, with good ventilation. Lots of Airbnbs have the bare minimum in terms of plates and kitchenware, but Perrine's apartment was well stocked with a variety of kitchenware and made it easy to prepare meals at home, if we wanted to. Be aware that there is no elevator in this beautiful, romantic building from the 1600s, so be ready to carry your luggage up the stone, spiral staircase. (Think of it as an adventure! ; - )
THE LOCATION:
This location in Vieux Lyon (Old Lyon) was perfect for our first visit to this wonderful city. Right outside the building were simple conveniences like a market, bakery, as well as a variety of shops. We were within immediate walking distance to many lovely bars, restaurants (including non-French cuisines), as well as Lyon's many legendarily good bouchon restaurants. It was a short walk to the produce market across the river, as well as the Vaporetto boat rides down to the Confluence. This was also a great place to do the walk up the hill to the Basilica.
Merci beaucoup, Perrine, for being a kind and responsive host!
