Alain and Carole are welcoming and responsive hosts. The apartment is well located and in some cases within walking distance to many of Lyon’s historic sites, museums, delicious restaurants, consider Alain and Carole’s recommendations, and public transportation systems. The central location also means that street and neighborhood noise is a factor. Sleep may be interrupted by exuberant celebrating, street conversations, and early morning trucking.
This is an ideal accommodation for a couple. However, the lack of private full bathrooms presented our party of 3 with some challenges.
In addition, we visited when daytime temperatures reached into the high 80s, low 90s. While the apartment has good ventilation, it does not have air conditioning. The addition of fans would be a good solution.
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed Lyon. It’s rich history, wonderful restaurants, and beautiful locations made it a rewarding and enjoyable visit.
