We had a very nice stay in Guillaume's apartment. The location is excellent. You're only a block away from the river bank and the bridge to the old city of Lyon. It's an apartment in a spectacular historic building with an ornate facade. A big plus – it has a an elevator! Although it's quite small, most buildings of this type would make you carry your bags up the two long flights of stairs, but here you don't have to. Guillaume bought a large apartment and then subdivided it into smaller units for short-term rentals. It's a very nice, modest reno, with a few charming quirks. There's a common entrance to the units and a shared hallway to the door of the apartment, but all of the places are self-contained with locking doors, so there's no security issue. Access to the main door to the units and to the unit itself are by keypad code. The street-level entrance to the building requires a key fob, so you need to coordinate with Guillaume to meet him for check in. This was the only minus for us, since the listing said door code access, so we thought we could have a contactless checkin which was important for us, but this wasn't the case. That being said, Guillaume went out of his way to meet us when our plane was delayed by several hours and he wore a face mask when letting us into the building and giving us a tour of the apartment. He even left a treat of two delicious tarts for our first coffee! The unit is very well equipped. We didn't do too much cooking, but everything that we needed was there. In terms of square footage, the apartment is somewhat small, but the extremely high ceiling still makes it feel spacious. Like many of these types of conversions, the bedroom is in a loft space over the bathroom. One thing to note is that the staircase going up is quite steep (almost a ladder) and there is a large beam just before you arrive at the upper level, so you need to be careful not to bump your head. Anyone with mobility issues or small children should be aware of this. These types of stairs are very typical of these type of loft conversions, in my experience. Overall we highly recommend this place for Guillaume's attentive hosting, its location, its value and its charm (especially the amazing wooden floor). The photos in the listing are accurate and represent the space well.
