Sylvie's apartment is a wonderful space for two people who want to explore Lyon. The apartment itself is appointed with all the amenities you could hope for as well has a few totally unexpected like a wheelie bag and umbrella. That wheelie bag saved my bacon when I managed to acquire a few more books than I realized.
Sylvie is an absolute sweetie and does not interfere with your life unless it is absolutely necessary. She was great about finding a doctor, on our first Saturday when I awoke with an earache. She also was a great support when Craig landed in the hospital with pneumonia.

She even offered us a free night when our travel plans were complicated by a one day rail strike.
There is a small cooking school on the first floor of the building, and Sylvie offers a 15% discount on all the classes. DO THIS. Lucy is the instructor and a more knowledgeable and friendly person you would be hard pressed to find. Her classes are low key but very informative and entertaining.
All in all I would rate Sylvie, and her lovely apartment 5 stars with a bullet.
