Lyon became home; purely a result of the cozy beautiful home that we stayed in and also the hospitality of the host. Philippe Walker welcomed us extremely warmly, it was raining and I had messaged from the airport that we were on our way, and how happily surprised I was to find him waiting for us outside the apartment building with an umbrella, so very kind really. The apartment was spot clean and honestly better than expected. Very cute and artistic touch to the space. Love the work area over the bed with a breathtaking view - spent loads of time there. Philippe went out of his way to make us comfortable when the city of Lyon had a major wifi issue related to fiber optic management. I cannot thank him enough for checking up us and for going out of his way to suggest solutions. Thank you so so much Philippe. He had amazing suggestions with speciality cuisines and oh yes it was amazing. If I am ever visiting lyon then (if available) this is where I am staying, there's no doubt about that at all. Now the location, absolutely fantastic. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is if you are alone especially to be able to walk to a variety of options whether public transit or food or bars or Hard Rock Cafe or grocery or museums or the river side. I mean just amazing. The uniqueness of the 17th century building that the apartment is in combined with an excellent host and amazing location, what else can you ask for! Thank you again Philippe. Till we meet again, regards.
