We had such a lovely stay here in Lyon. We so enjoyed this adorable apartment in the heart of old town Lyon. It was in the middle of so many sweet shops and yummy restaurants. We stayed here with our 10 month old who absolutely loved crawling around and exploring the space. It was very homey and cozy and we so enjoyed the whole trip! Thank you so much for the stay, we so enjoyed ourselves. ##### Sara S.

The location, between the stop for the bus to Part--Dieu, and Vieux Lyon, was perfect. Check-in was especially welcoming. ##### Janice A.

Up a narrow winding staircase traditional for old Lyon is a magnificent 3rd floor apartment, with a modern elegant layout right in the heart of the old town. My husband and I came for the Fete des Lumieres and felt very much a part of the celebration being right in the center of it all. As long as you can climb the stairs, this is a gem of a place! The kitchen, the bedroom, and the heated towel rack all made for a comfortable experience even in the darkness of December. Would recommend highly! ##### Lisa N.

Just note that the apartment is located on level 3 (access via an old spiral staircase - no lift) and no aircon. However, we found the fans were kept us sufficiently cool at night.

Selorm greeted us when we arrived and was helpful in translating and providing tips in English, which was helpful as our French was limited.

Loved the modern look, the huge counter and storage space and lots of light. Highly recommend; a reminder you are in old Lyon with busy restaurants at your doorstep and a three-storey stair climb to ensure you burn those restaurant calories. ##### Holly H.

The owner understands that all the fees and taxes can make a rental more expensive than a hotel, so pricing it right and having a superb space in a wonderful location is the answer. We are recommending this rental to our friends. A great place at a reasonable price! Thanks so much. ##### tim p.

It is sparkly clean, in the best part of old Lyon, and the host Chafika was friendly, accommodating, and helpful with our arrival. It can get a little hot but there are two high quality fans that can be positioned to cool the apartment nicely. The windows also open fully for a nice breeze. The shower is awesome and the apartment is spacious and comfortable! ##### Agence C.
