This is easily the best experience we have had so far on Airbnb. It is clear from the moment you walk through the door that this has been a labour of love on the part of its owners. We were met by Alexandre's father who was extremely keen to help. He is a very nice man and definitely worth spending some time chatting with (even if this is in stilted french). The apartment strikes a very good balance between style and function - it has everything you need and does it with an utterly unique flair. The photos do not grt across hpw beautiful it is. I really do have to recommend staying here. The location is also good - you are 5 minutes from the funicular station which in turn takes 5 minutes into the centre of Vieux Lyon. You feel at home in a peaceful neighbourhood whilst easily at hand for everything you need. There is a grocery store open late nearby. In summary, we are already thinking of returning. Thank you!
