Nos sentimos estafadas con este apartamento, es imposible que tenga un 8,8/10 de puntuación. Viajamos mucho y este ha sido sin duda el sitio más sucio donde nos hemos quedado. Para llegar al apartamento parecía que tenias que pasar por un laberinto. Habia que subir tres pisos y pasar por muchos pasillos llenos de trampas para ratas. Estaba extremadamente sucio, el baño lleno de pelos, los utensilios de cocina se quedaban pegados y las sabanas estaban manchadas y agujereadas. El propietario no nos respondió a los mensajes hasta que se terminó nuestra estada en el apartamento.

Stay in Old Lyon

The location of this property is amazing with regards to tourist attractions … 10-15 minutes walk to the Basilica and Roman Amphitheatre, and less then 10 minute walk to dozens of restaurants!!! Our only disappointment was that the sofa in the living was quite dirty; otherwise the apartment is perfect for visiting Lyon.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
If you are under 30 years old and are in good physical shape you’ll be able to climb the steep and treacherous walkway to get to and from the apartment. After entering the double gated entrance and lock box key you'll be faced with 3 sets of stairs to get to the apartment. Inside is a table, four chairs, a couch and a queen mattress on a flat floor base. Old discolored towels you may not want to use, no bath soap or shampoo and 1/2 roll of toilet paper. To top it off a shower door that is not connected to the frame and must be strategically maneuvered to open and close. This was very unsettling. We were happy the morning we left. It was not a pleasant experience.

Great Lyon Getaway

I had a fantastic two weeks staying at this property to explore Lyon and the surrounding area during the Rugby World Cup. The apartment was clean, well appointed, and Laurent and his wife were very friendly and responsive. Vieux Lyon is easily accessible via several different stairways, the road, or the funicular.

Do Not Stay Here

I realize this is a business for Laurent and I hate writing this bad review but you need to understand the lack of quality of this rental. First, it is located in a totally filthy building with rat traps, month old piles of pigeon feces, no lighting in the hallways combined with steep flights of stairs of 24 and 19 steps. You come home from dinner and have to navigate your way up 3 floors thru uneven footing. And there is absolutely no access to food or drink on the hill where the apartment is located. You must walk up a very steep climb or walk down over 300 steps to access Vieux Lyon and then either climb back up those stairs or take the Fernicular to the top of the hill and then walk down a very steep hill. And if you have a car, parking is a significant challenge. The landlord is a very bad communicator and unresponsive to complaints. We brought to his attention the problem with lighting in the hallways even after one of us fell on the steep stairs in the dark and received no response. Finally, just about every morning of our stay starting at 8:00 am, demolition work was ongoing beneath us in the building that shook the floor and walls of the apartment for 3-4 hours. This property should NOT be on the VRBO market in its current condition or without full disclosure of the isolation of its location and challenge with accessing what Lyon offers.

Beautiful apartment in the heart of Vieux Lyon

The apartment is open and bright, overlooking a courtyard, and if one looks out the window to the right there is a spectacular view of Lyon. The sound of the birds in the courtyard was charming and relaxing. Laurent answered our questions promptly and provided a helpful video about how to access the apartment. We loved it and hope to return for a longer stay next year!

A Vieux Lyon Charmer!

We loved staying here. It was a short walk to all the Old Town restaurants and patisseries and shops. The beautiful Fourvière Notre Dame with its beautiful view of Lyon was right up the street from us. Laurent gave us wonderful suggestions including dinner at Chez Grand-mère, the rooftop bar at Opera House, Rue Mercière (restaurant row), Halle Paul Bucose, the boat ride to Confluence, the Miniature Museum, and the exploration of the secret traboules. Laurent was extremely responsive, always responding to all our questions. A perfect place for a couple. We stayed here for a month and will return again!

Lovely perch overlooking the city of Lyon

The loft apartment was a comfortable and lovely perch above the business of Vieux Lyon. Really enjoyed the birds in the morning and being able to return to such a quiet place in the evening. It was a great location to see not only Vieux Lyon, but also Presqu’île and Gallo Roman Museum. You do need to be prepared for the walk up. We are 70 and in good shape so it was worth it and glad we did it. This would be my only caution.

Charming studio in the hills of the Old Lyon

We had a great stay in this charming studio apartment perched on the hill overlooking Old Town Lyon. The owner, Laurent, was very conscientious and accommodating. There are a lot of steps involved in getting into and out of the apartment and up and down the hill to restaurants and sights. But as long as your legs and heart are strong, we highly recommend staying here.

Besondere Unterkunft in vielen Belangen

Zunächst mal zu den Schwachstellen: Insgesamt waren wir nur mäßig zufrieden. Von einem "Loft" kann man nicht wirklich sprechen. Es ist einfach ein Mini-Apartment mit einem Raumtrenner - und viel zu klein für vier Personen. Im Badezimmer kann man sich kaum umdrehen, die Küchenzeile reicht für die allernotwendigsten Dinge. Sehr abenteuerlich ist derf Zugang zur Wohnung. Der führt über einige (ziemlich unsichere) Treppen und mehrere Türen bis zur Wohnung. Muss man aber wohl akzeptieren, wenn man in der Altstadt von Lyon untergebracht ist, da dies hier typisch ist. Man sollte es nur vorher wissen :) Die Wohnung selbst sit eigentlich recht schön - wären da nur nicht die vielen kleinen Mängel: Sofa und Bett sind wirklich ziemlich dreckig und durchgelegen, auch das Badezimmer dürfte mal etwas Renovierung vertragen ebenso die extrem einfache Küchenzeile. Internet funktioniert gut, der Fernseher ist so antiquiert, dass wir ihn gar nicht erst probiert haben.Zu den Vorteilen: Die Lage ist schon besonders - so im Zentrum der Altstadt, das ist selten. Allerdings ist das Auto ein echtes Problem. Es gibt zwar Parkplätze an der Straße vor der Wohnung - aber die sind horrend teuer. Die Aussicht auf Lyon ist dafür ebenfalls besonders. Zusammengefasst: Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt zu zweit reicht es. Für einen echten Urlaub, in dem man sich IN der Wohnung auch wohlfühlt, fehlt leider so einiges. Allerdings ist die Unterkunft auch (zumindest in unserem Fall) auch recht günstig gewesen.
