This magnificent apartment treats guests to timeless features like a marble fireplace, beautiful wooden windows and a kitchen view of a tranquil courtyard, aside a modern kitchen with a built-in convection stove and minimalist counters.
It should be noted that your stay won’t be as perfect as perhaps a hotel stay would be; we found a dustball by the doorway to the living room, several small hairs on the bed sheets and one towel as well as water that ran cold after only about fifteen minutes. However, we knew that staying in such an old Airbnb would NOT be as perfect as a hotel, but it instead provides different comforts than a hotel would.
We rate this apartment five stars because, despite the small inconveniences, we were impressed by the overall cleanliness (other than the small hairs) and the sense we got of being part of the Lyon community by staying here in the Croix Rousse neighborhood instead of a chain hotel. If you are open to (em)brace the aforenoted conditions, we highly recommend Emilie and Bertrand’s apartment.
