We have stayed in vacation rental apartments in many countries, and have never been so graciously welcomed. Alexandre was so thoughtful in all the touches that he provided: bottled water (both sparkling and still), a gorgeous bowl of clementines as well as fresh oranges and an electric juicer to squeeze juice in the morning, fresh flowers, coffee cups set for the morning in two spots, not to mention the whole apartment set up. Extremely comfortable furniture, good linens, charming lighting, beautiful artwork, all combined with the stone walls and heated floors. It was perfect. The pictures on the website are the most accurate that I have seen-it really is that beautiful! Alexandre helped us with directions to our dinner reservation in Vieux Lyon, which was just a funicular ride and a short walk away. We only stayed one night, but we wish that we could have stayed much longer. We highly recommend staying here-you will not be disappointed!
