Communication with Nicholas was very good. He responded to my questions in a very timely manner. The apartment is large and it was clean. It was close to public transportation and walking
to the Presquile. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and Halles de Paul Bocuse is 2 blocks away. Also walking distance to Lyon Part Dieu. The bed was comfortable.
The issues we had with the apartment is that it isn't very well stocked. Many of the utensils, like a working corkscrew ( which they did bring us), a proper spatula, and only 1 wine glass (which they also brought later). I feel an inventory of their stock is necessary. Their were 3 containers of soap in the washroom which were empty. The biggest issue we had was the portable air conditioner.
It was unusually hot when we were in Lyon and the apartment is on the 6th floor. It was uncomfortably warm in the late afternoon and evening. In order to use the portable A/C the
large vent needs to be put out the window, which means the window has to be left open. The machine was extremely noisy but it did cool off the bedroom. We requested a fan a couple of times and they relented and brought us a fan, corkscrew and a set of wine glasses. For 2 days there was a strong sewer smell coming from the shower, but it eventually it went away.
It wasn't a bad apartment. It just needed some TLC.
