We were treated to a bottle of Champagne upon our arrival. The apartment was exactly as pictured in the Airbnb advertisement. Xavier and his wife were unable to greet us in person, but their housekeeper was available and was able to provide us with all of the information we required. She was charming and warm and made us feel very welcome. Thank you Marie!!
Everything in the apartment is brand new. The bed was extremely comfortable and the linens were fresh and crisp. Television and internet reception were first class. Powered window shades and double glazed windows ensured peace and quiet throughout our stay.
The apartment is within easy walking distance to all amenities. Lyon is an extremely friendly city and easy to access with its efficient transit system. There is a market held every day except for Monday on the Boulevard du la Croix Rousse. On Tuesdays it includes an eclectic non food market on the opposite side of the boulevard. Everything imaginable is for sale. It is a sensory experience one should not miss!
Xavier and Francoise were excellent hosts. On our last night they had us over for a drink and a chat. (they live in the next apartment) They are as lovely as the property they provide. Thank you to you both. When we return to Lyon, we will return to you!! TOUTES TOP!
