We could not possibly have asked for a better place to stay nor a better host at Philippe's apartment in Lyon. My friend and I were visiting the city for a long weekend and Philippe made the trip an absolute joy. Not only did he reply almost immediately to communication about the apartment, he greeted us with the local wine -- Beaujolais Nouveau -- showed us around the apartment, and helped make restaurant reservations for us at his favorite restaurants. Staying at Philippe's apartment was like having a built-in guide come with your stay -- he provided many great recommendations for sightseeing, eating, and more. The apartment itself is a peaceful hideaway that felt like home to us immediately. We loved to sit in the loft with our wine, looking out over the river and city rooftops. The apartment has a full kitchen, modern bathroom, and two double beds, plus two living areas. The apartment was walkable to everything we wanted to see (so much walking to do in Lyon!) and was a short cab ride ($14 Euro) from the train station. Everything was simply perfect, and Philippe was a fantastic host. We are so glad we found him and would recommend his apartment to anyone considering a stay in Lyon!
