Lyon is a great town, and there is no better flat to explore it from than this one. Very centrally located and about a 200m walk from the nearest Metro stop.
The flat is very ‘French’ in style and feel both outside and inside, though the bath and kitchen have both been recently updated. There is a wonderful shower and an immersive Jacuzzi tub for two. The CATV features a wide variety of English-language and international programming. There are nice designer appointments throughout.
I liked the fact that this rental was dedicated to short term tenants like me, as I didn’t have to deal with the ‘owner clutter’ and personal effects I’ve sometimes run across in other shared properties.
I didn’t explore any of the restaurants in the plaza below the flat, but many high quality restaurants are a short 10-15 minute walk away.
Probably one of the best AirBnB’s I’ve stayed at.
My only warning would be to those less mobile - there is a hike required up 4 flights of narrow marble stairs to get to the flat (no elevator). Could be a problem for the elderly, cardiac challenged or those with lots of luggage.
