We are sorry if some of this review may disappoint you, but I beleive an honest assessment is important for the Air BnB community.

Firstly, the good things. The apartment was very nice- clean,modern, well appointed,and in a good location. The free parking arrangements you make are very helpful. Lyon itself is a very nice "big city"

The not quite so good. Whilst it is quite clear in the details of the apartment,and the instructions for entry,exit and parking worked out with only limited difficulty, it would have been nice to have met.

..and now the BAD. In the House Rules section of the apartment instructions it says ,and I quote " À partir de 22hrs le calme sera exige afin de respecter la vie des habitants", which my rough translation to English I interpret to say " after 22hrs (guests)should be quiet in order to respect the life of the inhabitants of the other apartments". This clearly does not work the other way round!!!

On the Tuesday of our stay, due to the adverse weather that evening, we decide to return earlier to the apartment. At about 21.00hrs the occupant, or occupants, of the adjoining flat decided to play music. The continual "thump,thump,thump" of backbeat coming through the walls did not stop until after 2.00 am, as I was awake until that time. This situation was quite clearly unacceptable.

with a 6 hour drive in front of me the next day I needed a good sleep beforehand, and was entitled to one.

This experience would make me very wary indeed of booking a city centre (or any) apartment through Air BnB in the future.
