This apartment is very spacious, beautiful and particularly well appointed. It's just the right mixture of old world charm and modern conveniences. Light streams into the very large living room windows and we loved sitting in there drinking our coffee in the mornings and planning our day. One thing I particularly like about the apartment is that it is very well lit in all the rooms -- something that isn't true in other apartments we've rented in Europe. The bathroom is modern with a large shower that has great water pressure. We made use of the washing machine too. It was a bit chilly in Lyon during our visit and the heating in the apartment works quickly and well. We only used the kitchen for coffee and pastries in the mornings (I didn't go to Lyon to cook!) but it has everything you would need to prepare a gourmet meal. Even a dishwasher for the cleaning up. The apartment is very quiet because of the double windows and although the living room looks out on one of the most interesting pedestrian streets in Vieux Lyon, the bedroom overlooks an interior courtyard so it would be quiet even with windows open.
The apartment is up one floor from the street level and there's an old stone winding staircase up to it. We thought this was charming but if someone is unsteady on his/her feet, a little caution should be used.
Odile is a great host and helped with restaurant recommendations and finding me a dry cleaner to deal with a very dirty coat. You will like her!
We hope to go back to Lyon for a longer stay sometime and we'll stay in Odile's apartment again!
