This apartment is by far the loveliest of AirBnB's I have stayed in, and I have stayed in quite a few in the last several years.
It is located on the hill above the city, close to the amazing cathedral, Gallo- Roman ruins and museum just a walk away, wonderful views of the city, and the short funicular ride into the old city.
The area is residential but located facing the Place Saint Irénée, next door to a small supermarket (whose owners are very friendly and helpful) and the Place is a social hub in mornings, afternoons, with students, families and others walking to and fro, meeting for a chat on the bench seats there, children riding scooters across the paved area. Saying this it is a quiet area and very quiet inside the apartment (apart from occasional squeaky chairs on floors in apartment above).
What makes Alexandre's apartment special is the quaint and interesting decor. Furnished with pieces from old wares and collections shops, or perhaps even family treasures, it is a treat to wander around, admiring the special bits and pieces throughout. There are also lovely wine glasses, crockery and everything you might need in the kitchen. The bathroom is a delight and the beds super comfortable. There were three of us sharing the space, all adults, but I do think this would be quite a good place for a family group as well.
Thank you for the most wonderful stay, loved Lyon and if I returned I would certainly wish to stay in this special apartment again.
