We travelled as a family (2 adults and 2 teenagers) via Eurostar. From the start, communication with Khalid had been great and due to the early arrival and late departure of the trains, we appreciated the check-in/ out flexibility.
The location is perfectly situated near the main Lyon Part Dieu station and is few minutes walk from the nearest metro. We had a seamless commute to various places of interest. The surroundings were very decent and it looked like a nice, safe neighbourhood.
The accommodation facilities were very clean and modern. The WiFi was quite decent with a 2nd WiFi connection available in the main bedroom.
For self-catering, there was a choice of some sizeable supermarkets - we liked Lidl and Casino (across the road from block of flats). Khalid’s flat had everything we needed for self-catering and we were impressed with the condition of the kitchen facilities. There were even spices and coffee available for use.
There were lots of small touches that made a homely difference. We found the maps and guides quite useful to help us understand Lyon better. We forgot to bring a travel adapter and were pleasantly surprised to find a few adapters we could use. It was very thoughtful of Khalid to leave us a few things that we might not have had the time to buy on our first day.
We brought home good memories and thanks to Khalid for being such a great host!
