Gabin's apartment is in the perfect location in Lyon. Centrally located to the city's sights, and with quick access to many stores/groceries, restaurants and cafes, everything you could want or need is within 5-10 minutes walk of the flat. It was well decorated, clean and maintained, and had all the essentials for some light looking in the kitchen. Elevator was a big plus as we had large suitcases! Because the unit is on the interior courtyard side, it is very very quiet, which is a pleasant surprise given that it was in the heart of Les Cordeliers district.
The space is small but on par with urban apartment sizes - and it comfortably fits 2 people. There are some small suggestions I would make to be more traveler friendly/efficient with the space: 1) A slightly longer sofa that could more comfortably seat two, it's a bit small for lounging and relaxing. Even a half meter longer would've helped. 2) Some hanging hooks or a coat rack since there was no where to hang our coats and scarves as we were there in December.
We didn't need any recommendations or have questions during our stay....Since we forgot to ask about check out instructions when Gabin met us to hand off keys - we did try to message him the evening before we left, but did not hear back. We figured he was busy as it was the holiday weekend, but it may be worth establishing that with Gabin during the check in process.
I would recommend Gabin's apartment - especially to first time visitors to Lyon as is the most convenient location to get you to all the major attractions and nearby great food.
