About this apartment rental
Our apartment, completely renovated in 2016, will surprise you with its calm and brightness. We have specially furnished and decorated it, in a contemporary and sober style, to welcome you during your stays in Lyon. It got the 3 star rating. Its large windows offering a beautiful panoramic view of Lyon and, in good weather, of the Alps, bring in a lot of light. The fully equipped kitchen opens onto the living room with a bar where it is pleasant to have a drink. The bathroom decorated with stone, wood and ceramic has a large walk-in shower and a large washbasin. The 2 bedrooms have dressing rooms and offices. In the living room, a 3-seater convertible sofa and 2 armchairs await you for a well-deserved break after visiting the traboules or the antique theatre. You will quickly feel at home.
Located in the heart of the district classified as a UNESCO heritage site, you will not need a car to visit Lyon, its historic district, the peninsula and even reach the new confluence district and its museum by river shuttle. The apartment is close to many restaurants, theaters and cinemas but also to the Perrache train station, the old Lyon metro station is 300m away. However, if you are motorized, the St Georges car park is 2 steps away.

We had a really pleasant stay in this lovely apartment in Vieux Lyon, located just across the St George bridge. Attractively decorated, very clean and tidy, and stocked with necessities. Compact, yet comfortable for four people.The cobbled streets of the old town are charming - lined with traditional restaurants, great bakeries, and additionally fresh food snd antique markets on both banks of the Soane River. Easily walkable to interesting sights in Vieux Lyon, including two ancient Roman amphitheatres and the Fouvriere basilica on the hill dating from the late 1800s - pleasant places to see late afternoon when the basilica’s facade is illuminated by the last rays of sunlight. There, from the nearby viewing platform one can look down upon the city of Lyon and its rivers laid out like a map below.A must for anyone interested in art is a visit to the musee des Beaux Artes - France’s second major art museum. Also the city quarter with numerous jewellery, craft, and art ateliers stocking genuinely locally made products. Thanks to our obliging hosts and the accomodation we had a really enjoyable holiday in Lyon.

This apartment is ideally situated for exploring all parts of Lyon, either on foot or by public transport. The accomodation is quite charming and fully equipped, and the hosts have provided a welcoming environment.

A cute apartment within walking distance of everything! I walked to the outdoor market along the river almost daily. The hill to the apartment is fairly steep but the location makes up for it. Apartment itself has a ton of natural light and is clean.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Dec 2022
We liked it, despite many reasons not to, and we liked Christiane and Thierry. We were there all of October, 2022.
The street is steep. You can catch the funicular to the Roman ruins at the nearby metro stop and walk down the 144 (!) steps at the top of the street; still easier than walking up. Google map it.
When we arrived, they apologized and said we were the first after a long-term pandemic renter who had been slovenly, so they were still cleaning. We left our bags and returned hours later. It wasn’t enough. We spent most of a day cleaning it ourselves. They were very friendly and did their best, but seemed overwhelmed by how bad it was. Looking back, they should have gotten us a hotel room for a day and finished up.
Then we saw mice. When informed, they immediately brought in traps and poison, and later a professional. Sadly, we were responsible for tending the traps and cleaning up after les souris. We caught six. The last two weeks of our stay there were no signs.
The furniture in the living room is frankly in need of replacement. The rest of the furniture, including the beds, was fine and comfortable. We asked for and they provided new sheets, towels, pillows, etc.
The lighting in the building stairwell was good going up due to a timed switch at the bottom, but there was no switch at the top for going down! The kitchen was poorly equipped. We gave them a list of items and they provided them all right away. One of the burners on the gas stove did not work properly; we didn’t need it. The shower drain smelled a little sewer-like in the mornings; it probably needed a heavy dose of bleach.
The apartment is close to the river, the metro, a wonderful open air market, good restaurants, cafes, bakeries, shops, pubs, and a creperie. The Roman ruins were an easy funicular ride. There was no traffic so it was wonderfully quiet. We could open the windows and hear the sounds of people on the street below and children in a park a couple of blocks away. The view standing at the windows was grand. On cold days the apartment heater kept us very comfortable. The on-demand water heater gave unlimited hot water, for the best shower I’ve had in Europe. The clothes washer and drying rack were good. The kitchen was very usable and we cooked some delicious meals.
If the apartment had been properly clean and equipped from the start, we would have enjoyed it a lot. We hope the owners will take the remaining steps to make it right.
