Our family stayed in Sylvain’s apartment during our stay in Lyon for the Women’s World Cup. Sylvain is a really gracious host, initially giving us a brief tour of the building, its art and its history. . Throughout our stay, Sylvain was immediately responsive and was clearly concerned that we enjoy the apartment and our visit. When the charming and ancient elevator was out of service following a brief power outage in the neighborhood, Sylvain had it repaired immediately. The apartment is spacious, the beds good, and our group was quite comfortable. The location is convenient to many restaurants, public transportation, public markets, a Boulanger downstairs, and a great grocery. We especially appreciated the effective air conditioning as we were there during a heat wave. The coffee machine is indeed awesome as other commenters have noted.
