Short - 10 out of 10 stars
Pros:
- Cleanliness: immaculately clean! Probably the cleanest rental I have ever stayed at
- Host: VERY respectful of privacy, kind, responds very quickly to anything you need, never made me uncomfortable in the 2 months I stayed there as a woman, alone.
- Location: Fantastic views, GORGEOUS, long balcony for people watching, and within two blocks: VERY easy access to public transport, two grocery stores, bakeries, bars, restaurants, something for everyone
- Living Space: Open floor plan, modern sleek design, very high ceilings, comfortable furniture
- Kitchen: Fully stocked (induction stove top, coffee maker, kitchen utensils, appliances, etc.)
- Bathroom: LOADS of hot water and good pressure, soft towels (refreshed weekly or every other week), toilet is within the bathroom but with a door that shuts for privacy!
- Other: A fan is provided which was great to have right by the bed! There is a washer and dryer right outside your door. Very convenient and appreciated in the wet and cold months to have a dryer! An umbrella was provided too which got a lot of use in November.
Cons:
- Ceiling height in the loft: The upstairs bedroom has a ceiling height of about 5 feet but it's not bothersome at all. I stayed for two months and had no problem! But the bed is so comfortable you won't notice! The downstairs ceilings are easily 14 feet, where you spend most of the time.
Long:
I stayed at Guillaume's apartment for two months between October and November 2018. I can't recommend this apartment or any of his listings highly enough. This was my first time travelling alone (American in Europe). If you are a woman travelling alone, Guillaume's apartments have excellent security. For reference, to get into your apartment, you have to go through a key fob front door and two different electronic passcode doors.
Guillaume is a total professional. He takes wonderful care of his rentals and guests. I never once felt unsafe or uncomfortable. Upon arrival, Guillaume met me at the front door and showed me to the apartment, spent about 5 minutes showing me how everything works. Throughout my stay, he was quick to respond to any questions I had. The linens can be replaced as often as you want and you can have the apartment cleaned while you're there if you'd like.
This stay was better than a hotel! I had a fabulous two months in this apartment and will be staying at Guillaume's listings when I come back to Lyon next year with my family. Thank you for being a top host!
