This place is PERFECT for a first-time visit to Lyon. The 15th-century building is in the oldest neighborhood in the city, so walking anywhere in the area is a total revelation riddled with ruins, cathedrals, and sidewalk cafes, but the studio itself is super modern and stylish- an excellent juxtaposition. Jean-Charles gave meticulous directions to his apartment and met us when we arrived. He was lovely and showed us how to get to the tourist office, gave recommendations on local sites, and made sure we were set with everything before leaving. There were tour guide books on the coffee table and coffee in the kitchen. If I had one quibble it would be with the pull-out mattress, which might not be ideal for someone with a bad back. My boyfriend had trouble sleeping, but I slept like a baby. Would definitely come again.
