Would recommend Nicos place for a number of reasons though there are a few downsides that we should point out and from memory, a couple of other reviewers had mentioned the items - however on the whole we had a good stay at this apartment (41) with just a few niggles. We were in Lyon for the first time and the trip was for restaurants - food and wine ...... restaurant wise we would highly recommend Le Passe Temps and also Le Neuvieme Art if you get the chance
For the apartment
the pros : 1) Great location 2) modern style and decor 3) easy communication 4) good parking in nearby renovated parking (underground though the entrance is narrow and steep if you are arriving in anything sporty) 5) Netflix system 6) Thoughtful touches
the cons : 1) there is a number of stairs as apartment we stayed at is on the top floor 2) we only had one key and not so great when my wife and i operate and do separate stuff during the days 3) The apartment 41 we stayed was not very well sound proofed and is a flaw with the high ceiling design and renovation ( for example on the first night my wife was kept awake by the guests in the next apartment going at it like rabbits. good for them but bad for anyone staying next door and not looking for the 'farm experience' 4) lack of storage space - there is a small cupboard to hang a few coats, shirts etc but absolutely nowhere to put clothing in draws etc ... so luggage you just have to leave packed by the bed which for a short stay is fine ( we stayed 3 nights ) but for anything longer it would be an issue
A good short stop venue and the location really is great - 10mins basically to mostly anywhere and just 20mins walk to the basilica and ruins etc
