If you want a true local experience in a comfortable, stylish space, this is for you. This spot is located in the heart of Vieux Lyon, near some of the best places to visit. It’s in an inner courtyard you access through a strange tunnel, then up a medieval circular staircase. The room is gorgeous, modern, airy, and well decorated. It was clean and lovely. Even though it’s near the main road and bar-restaurants and a karaoke nightclub, you couldn’t hear it in the courtyard or room. The building is that large.
The floors are an amazing old brick, with more modern wood coverings in some spots. The decorations update, but don’t overpower the original charm. The rooms are private with sliding doors and beds were comfortable.
There’s a full kitchen with a decent-sized fridge and freezer plus dishwasher. Lots of cups and glasses, plates and bowls, and utensils.
For the bathrooms, the toilet is separate from the shower, with two sinks, and there’s a washer with places to hang dry your clothes. There were clear instructions on how to work everything, along with great local tips. We managed to visit during a huge heat wave, and she had a fan there for us.
We got the checkout time wrong by an hour but she was very forgiving. We loved the place and would stay again.
