About this property

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.
Apartment dedicated to family stays preferably. Groups of young people are in principle not authorized following a bad experience. Thank you for your understanding.
Household linen and cleaning included in the stay

Lovely apartment in a great location

We stayed here for 4 weeks- a perfect location, lovely host, everything we needed - and the bonus was keeping fit walking up the steepish hill each evening.

Great location. Steep hill.

Well situated but it is an attic so you need to be careful of sloping ceilings. Well equipped but one large and one small towel each for 7 days was a bit mean. Also the towels were quite old. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay. Taxis cannot drive to the door as it is a narrow steep street for residents only. You have to walk your luggage down to the main street.

Lovely central apartment with great views

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the heart of Old Lyon (Vieux Lyon). The apartment is tucked away in a nice quiet street, a short walk to restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and supermarkets. It is very comfortable, loads of space and has great views of the area. Christiane and Thierry are fabulous hosts, who communicated quickly with us and provided great information on what to do in the area. We felt at home in their unit and would stay again.

A wonderful apartment in the old town so close to everything. Christiane was an amazing host going way beyond what was expected to help us. The steep street may be daunting for some but was manageable. Would highly recommend this apartment .

Felt like home

This lovely apartment was perfect for our 10 week stay in Lyon. It was spacious and light filled with lovely views. It was our home away from home and the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and roomy dining/living area allowed us to settle in to life in Lyon. The location is great: quiet but still close to the Metro and the heart of Vieux Lyon and Bellecour. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and welcomed us with a gift.

Bon emplacement

Appartement très bien placé dans le vieux Lyon par contre pas adapté aux personnes âgées ou avec une mauvaise activité physique. Les rues pour arriver à la porte d'entrée sont très pentues, pas d'accès par véhicule. Sinon appartement correct, propre, sans bruit, très belle vue sur Lyon. A conseiller.

Un séjour agréable

Nous avons très apprécié notre séjour. L'appartement était super avec toutes les commodités nécessaires. Nous avons également bien apprécié l'accueil. Notre hôte nous a reçu chaleureusement et en nous fournissant plein d'informations sur le gîte et sur les endroits à visiter. Le seul petit hic, c'est pour se rendre à l'appart nous devons y arriver par une rue pentue.

Wonderful Old Lyon

This apartment is absolutely perfect, and is in a perfect location in Vieux Lyon. Two bedrooms made it the perfect spot for my daughter and me to be very comfortable. We are both very athletic and fit, and we quite enjoyed the short uphill walk to the apartment.

Super appartment centrally located

We were mother, father and two sons (6 and 10). The appartment was highly suitable for us and our purpose. Well equipped og extremely well located for a visit in and around Lyon. We were warmly and efficiently welcomed and informed by the the hosts Christiana and Thierry. We highly recommend this appartment for a copule or, as in our case, a small family. If travelling by car make space in your budget for high parking costs in the city. Family Kleinbeck, Copenhagen

Lovely flat in the old town

This lovely flat is perfect for a small family or couple to enjoy while staying in Lyon. We were very impressed with how clean the flat was and the location couldn't have been better. Christiane & Thierry were very helpful with our trip details and with our arrival. They couldn't have been nicer, thank you. I would highly recommend this flat for a stay while in Lyon.

Recommended with caveats

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.

belle découverte d'une charmante ville

L'appartement est bien situé dans le vieux Lyon (idéal pour participer à la fête des lumières) et agréable pour quatre personnes , bien chauffé et propre . Il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir de moyen de transport ,tout se fait très bien à pied et au besoin le métro est à quelques mètres. Nous avons découvert une magnifique ville ...
