The apartment has been recently refurbished and is clean and well presented. It is reasonably well equipped, although there are a few small issues which need remedying, such as a broken lavatory seat, the slow draining of the shower pan and some mould in the bathroom.
On the plus side Michael was very communicative, a representative from, I assume, the agency handling the apartment, met us on upon arrival there were absolutely no problems about getting access to the apartment.
However, the main problem is that the apartment is actually on the ground floor of a busy street in Vieux Lyon. Effectively, you are right on the street and it is very noisy. The problem is compounded by the fact that there is no air-conditioning, very limited ventilation and it can get very hot. Fundamentally, especially in the summer, you have to choose between noise or heat.
