The apartment is in an excellent location, in an interesting and vibrant neighbourhood, and very close to cafes, restaurants, bars, attractions, independent boutiques, transport, and museums. The self check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow. The apartment itself is a unique and historic space, with original architecture and features, and direct access to the street.
The host was communicative, but not that helpful. The apartment does not have air conditioning but does have a fan. On the day we arrived at the apartment for our 6 day stay, we notified the host that the fan was not working. They advised us that the fan could not be fixed or replaced during our stay. This was extremely disappointing as the temperatures reached 38 degrees celcius in Lyon during our stay, and the apartment was very hot. We offered to purchase a fan on the apartment owner's behalf, but this option was unfortunately declined.
Also, while the apartment does contain a dishwasher and washing machine as advertised, there was very little detergent for these machines provided (e.g. one dishwasher tab). It felt a little ungenerous, seeking to minimise costs.
I would suggest to future guests that you receive confirmation that the fan is working before booking for summer, lower expectations that issues raised will be resolved during your stay, and BYO dishwasher tabs and washing machine powder.
