A friend and I stayed at Nouzha's place during a quick holiday trip to Lyon and everything went great!
The location truly is excellent - the apartment is right next to a subway station for convenient arrival/city-traveling/departure, right next to the opera for those who want to visit it, and within walking distance of an assortment of bouillons, bars & touristic points.
The apartment met our expectations in terms of space, facilities and services. Albeit somewhat small, it makes quite a good use of the space and is perfectly fine for a small groups and short stays.
The check-in went without a hitch given the steps the host has taken to automate the process. The check-out was somewhat less organized since no communication was had, and the cleaning staff showed up before the stipulated check-out hour in AirBnb, but this was easily solved through some hand-gesturing and broken English/French.
Communication was alright and somewhat fluid, with the minor details of having to use a translator in-between since the host did not seem to speak English, and we could not speak French.
Notes which might be useful for future guests:
- The building appears to be quite old (as is sometimes the case in certain European cities). This is not a problem in itself, but it does reflect into some minor details, like the elevator having been clearly added after construction, and thus being somewhat narrow/small.
- The contiguous apartment has it's door right next to Nouzha's door. If you hear door noises in the middle of the night, it might just be the neighbors.
- The WiFi password noted inside the apartment would seem to have a typo - if you cannot connect, try omitting the space between the words.
