We traveled to Lyon for three days and two nights while training between the sound east of France back up to Paris. Amelie's space was perfect for our family and our eight month old daughter.
First, the location: we explored every street in Vieux Lyon and felt convinced that this apartment was on the best, most interesting, and perhaps the most authentic block of the area. The streets are tiny, cobble-stoned, and charming. We tried two bouchons right outside the door and both were exceptional. The five-star hotel across the way (Des Voges) had an incredible bar and restaurant (we didn't do the prix-fixe, but the street-side restaurant has a menu from the Michelin-starred chef that was excellent). The walk up the hill to the Roman ruins and the Notre Dame was challenging, but as direct as one could hope for, with photo-op-filled stairways. Other streets in Vieux Lyon felt decidedly more packed and touristy; not this one.
The space itself is modest, but charming, and it fit the needs of our young family perfectly. Two rooms, both amply sized. with minimal - but functional - vintage furniture. There are windows facing the middle of the building, so no direct sunlight, but that was essential during a record-setting heatwave (between that and a great fan, the apartment stayed cool without AC). This is a "first floor" apartment that's up a couple flights of stairs off the ground floor.
Everything worked well. We did some laundry and used the drying rack; the bathroom was reliable and essential after the long, hot days; our eight month old could crawl around.
We loved this apartment and felt it was one of the best values we found during a two-week long trip. Highly recommended!
