Location: the apartment is very conveniently located near the Part-Dieu train station and the metro line B. This make it easily reachable from the airport or the train station. Since I made a few side trips to other places during my stay in Lyon, this was a bonus. There is a nice bakery and a large supermarket (Intermarche) within 3-minute walk from the apartment. There are two bus stops within 2-minute walks, and it is very easy to ride to the city center (Place Bellecour, Hotel de Ville) and the old town. If you like walking, you can also get from the apartment to the city enter in about 35 minutes. I also liked the fact that the apartment is located in a quiet place, faces a small yard with a very interesting modern office building. I slept with my window open, and was not disturbed by any noises.
Host communication: Geoffroy was very quick to reply to my messages, and while he was not available in person, he had a friend who gave me the keys at check-in and showed the apartment.
Apartment itself: having two rooms is a luxury that is rarely found on AirBnB. I rented the apartment at a discount, and as such view it as a bargain and a rare find. I also liked having the washer in the apartment. For my stay of 3 weeks this was essential. There is a Nespresso-style coffee machine. A huge balcony with a table and a sofa on it, facing the back yard is super nice. A cup of coffee in the morning on the balcony was great. A few aspects and features of the apartment could be easily improved, and would make it nicer and more convenient. I have communicated them directly to the owner, and hope that he will take care of them.
