Lyon is a great city to explore and this apartment is in a great location close to free parking and public transportation. Our apartment experience began when we had a great deal of trouble actually getting into the place. Sylvie, the owner, provided us with the gate code at the street but once in the courtyard area, nobody was there to meet us. After calling multiple times and waiting 10-15 minutes, Issac came down to meet us. He manages Sylvie's apartments. Isaac showed us the apartment noting the glass door on the shower was missing because previous guests broke it (made it difficult to shower without getting water all over). The shower drain was also slow which led to a near overflow condition to contend with in addition to the missing door. The space was a great sized apartment for the 5 of us, however, while the apartment was "surface clean" any cup, dish, pot or utensil we used needed to be washed/scrubbed first. A great amount of dust was still under the furniture causing allergies to flare up. While the apartment was nicely furnished, the rest of the building had little to be desired (run down). It was about 15 min walk to activity which was very convenient. Loved Lyon and would like to come back, but I would choose a different apartment.
