This review will be almost totally positive, so let me start with three negative points, none of them enough to frighten anyone away. First, the web site refers to two bath rooms, but somewhere in the fine print and prominent in many of the reviews is the fact that neither one includes a toilet. Indeed, there is only one for the whole flat, and it's right beside the front door, so anyone wanting to use it, especially those in the two back bedrooms, need to walk all the way through the flat to use it—not the most desirable situation at 2:00 a.m. or when there are lots of people in the living room or kitchen.
Second, the entryhall to the building looks a bit like a rundown tenament, with dirty windows and a bleak interior. And third, unlike most flat rentals, there is no three-ring binder of instructions on how to use the appliances and other features of the flat—just a collection of manuals. Such a guide, in French and English, would not be hard to put together and would go far for people trying to use the stove, washing machine or TV.
As for the good points, the flat is spacious, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is modern and clean, and the living area is well arranged for people to sit around the coffee table for a Happy Hour or just a chat. It is located near restaurants (Try the Italian one in the square or the French one at the very end of the street.), and public transportation is nearby including buses and even the underground. You can easily walk most places including the city' central square, Bellecour, or along the river and over a bridge to “Old Town.” Although centrally located, the flat itself is remarkably quiet, and our eight-night stay was very enjoyable.
