We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sabrina’s place for our first visit to Lyon. The location was great, better than we had imagined - right in the old town and a short walk to the vieux Lyon metro station and cathedral saint-jean-baptiste. The street below was quite busy with many good restaurants and shops. The street was a bit noisy with restaurants and passers by at night, but we enjoyed the atmosphere (however, maybe not ideal if you are a light sleeper).
The apartment was very clean, nicely styled, with a comfortable bed and couch and lovely bathroom.
There was no air conditioning but this was not a big problem for us in September. It did get warm in the evening but opening the windows was enough to cool it down a little bit.
Sabrina met us at the apartment for check and was very friendly (despite us being a little late due to a problem with the metro).
Sabrina was very kind leaving us a snack for breakfast, and informing us we were welcome to use anything in the fridge or pantry. There were no issues with communication. Overall we felt Sabrina’s place was very good value. We would highly recommend Sabrina’s place as it’s in a great location, the apartment was lovely and Sabrina was a responsive and friendly host.
A note on accessibility: access to the apartment is via a spiral staircase, and there is a ladder up to the bed. The walk from the metro station is uneven cobblestones - not ideal for pulling along suitcases. This was fine for us but probably not recommended for those who have difficulties with mobility.
