I had a pleasant stay at Charles' place. Nice little treasure in super convenient location, loved the artistic touch and decoration to his place, quite cozy and original. Never seen so many different types of lights/lamps in one unit before! Could tell he is a photographer. :)
The entrance/stairs area is a bit chaotic and messy, and sometimes poorly lit, but not a real issue.
Seems like the bottom two floors are for the photography business, and a section of the floor where the AirBnb is located + top floor are undergoing renovation/construction (for more AirBnB rental space?)
There seemed to be some movers or construction work taking place on Saturday morning. Since I was leaving that day and had to get up early anyway, i didn't mind -but if I was planning to wake up late that day after a night out in Lyon, I might have been bothered if I was woken up to the noise.
The unit itself was ok for the most part. Could be a bit cleaner, despite the 'rustic' look. The bed sheets/cover/blanket/duvet smelled humid instead of fresh and clean, like was not allowed to dry properly... also, I heavily recommend investing in a new steamer or an iron, cuz the one in the bathroom is old, clunky, and broken (water leaks from it...) and doesn't work well.
If these details are addressed, I would be happy to go back to this place during my next visit to Lyon. :)
