I travel all over France for work so the most important accommodation for me is (1) a comfortable place to rest without noise or distractions, (2) a workspace and fast internet, and (3) a comfortable bed with soft linens and blackout curtains to help me adjust to the time change.
Heather’s place is all of that and better. It's without a doubt one of the best (and thus one of my fave) Airbnb’s I’ve stayed in (and I’ve stayed in a lot!). She has a pull-out desk/coffee table and bar on which to work (and even a printer!), a full-size fridge/freezer, microwave/oven combo and washer/dryer (a dryer!) for longer stays, and besides the cozy bedroom and comfy bed, the apartment is immaculately clean. I’m pretty sure she even dusts the baseboards with a white glove! Its so nice to arrive somewhere and have it be this clean, comfortable and welcoming.
I wholeheartedly recommend this apartment for stays in Lyon - both for tourists and business travelers. The location is ideal - both in being the coolest quartier in the city and for easy access (both walking and metro) to everything. Eclectic shops and restaurants abound and there are plenty of little grocery stores essentials. And yet there is no noise because the apartment is in the building behind the inner courtyard (away from the street). It's really a perfect location (favorite part of Lyon for me) but without all the noise. I will definitely be returning - next time for a much longer stay. Just book it!
