PROS:
Location
Nice bathroom
CONS:
Where do I begin?
1. The checkin process is very difficult if you have any luggage at all. You have to pick up and drop off the key 1 kilometer from the apartment. It's a pedestrian area which means you have to walk the distance with your luggage. This detail is not mentioned anywhere in the description so it comes as a surprise. I insisted on leaving the keys in the apartment rather than walking with my luggage to the other location, and in their defence, the owners agreed.
2. The apartment is tiny. It's much smaller than it looks in the photos. It's comfortable for two people max.
3. The furniture and appliances are of rather low quality. There is an old stove. The "table" is tiny not comfortable for more than two people.
4. There is an air conditioner but there is no system for the exhaust heat which means that you have to leave the window open to use it, defeating the purpose.
5. The street is extremely noisy (until 3:30 am) and since you can't close the window to use the AC you either suffer the heat with closed windows or open the windows to withstand the noise.
In conclusion, the apartment is not convenient and is way overpriced. We previously stayed in another place about 50 meters away which was three times larger, perfectly equipped, less noisy, easy to checkin, and was less expensive. My recommendation is that until the owners fix the checkin/checkout system, fix the AC situation so that the windows can be closed and lower the price, that you choose this location only as a last resort when staying in Lyon.
