Catherine was a great host with a good breakfast and gave local tips of the area and what to look out for. The bed was very comfortable and cozy. However my husband and I being very private people were very surprised to find out that the room could not be locked. We are aware that this was Catherine’s home but a lock on the door isn’t a lot to ask for a “private room”. She did however give us the privacy.
Unfortunately I was expecting a private bathroom attached to the room. But the shower was separate from the room while the toilet was also separate from the shower and the room. Which made it extremely inconvenient for us.
I was also unaware of the fact that we could not have food in the room. This came as a complete surprise to us.
Catherine, even though was a great hostess expected us to be outside most of the day. Our plan was to go see the town and the city initially. However we were very tired by the time we arrived in Lyon therefore wanted a night in and sleep.
Catherine was extremely nice and accommodating but there were things that came as a surprise to us that were not mentioned in the Airbnb listing.
