4 Fantastic days in Lyon

My wife, daughter and I visited Lyon for the first time from 23 December to 27 December. I would unhesitatingly recommend Marc and Helene's wonderful apartment at 6 rue de la Barre to anyone wanting to spend some time in Lyon. The apartment was very well appointed with every convenience that one would want including very nice glassware, crockery and cutlery and the bathroom was also very good. There was lift access to the apartment, which is on the second floor, so taking luggage was no problem. Although the apartment overlooks rue de la Barre this was not a problem. The location couldn't have been better as the apartment is only a short stroll to the metro station at Place Bellecour and the main shopping boulevards. Also there is a taxi rank across the road so getting a taxi to go to the station was very easy and inexpensive. We enjoyed our time in Lyon immensely and wish we had been able to stay longer. When we return we will certainly stay in the aparmtent again.

Marc was very welcoming and helpful and only a text away if we needed him. The apartment was modern and spacious and easily accommodated 4 adults. We were walking distance to all the sights of Lyon. Close to a supermarket and restaurants. We would certainly visit again.

Great place to stay in Lyon

We were really pleased with the accommodation. It was in a great location and had all the requirements for a comfortable stay for a week. The decor is modern, the beds comfortable, the cooking utensils more than adequate and there were other 'nice touches' to make this stay memorable. We highly recommend this place to people who are considering a stay in Lyon. Marc met us on arrival and was able to answer our questions.

Truly a home away from home. We stayed 5 nights and could have stayed longer in this apartment.

We have travelled to Europe from Australia many times in the past 10 years and this apartment is the best that we have ever stayed in. Everything that you could possibly want was provided. Bed and bedding very comfortable. The kitchen well designed and spacious with plenty of quality crockery, cutlery and glassware and if you want to cook in, then everything is provided. Clothes washing machine very good. The attention to detail in the whole apartment has been well though out. The location in Lyon is excellent, easily walkable to the old town, with many Restaurants just around the corner and the fabulous bakery downstairs. Helene & Marc wonderful hosts. Marc met us at the apartment on our arrival and showed us how everything worked. Marc had even pre booked a car parking space on our request as we were to pick up a hire car in a couple of days. Marc walked us to the car park to show us how to get in and as his car was parked there he showed us how to get out of the park by driving us back to the apartment. When making our booking we enquired if there was a safe for guest use, and as there was not a safe they had one installed before we arrived. The whole apartment is very comfortable with adjustable air-con and heating and plenty of spare power outlets and even a usb charging port located conveniently for the variety of items that need charging whilst away from your home. Thank you Marc and Helen for a wonderful stay in your apartment.

Fabulous property

This is a fabulous property. The location is perfect - one block to Place Bellacour and everything easily accessible. Parking was close as was the metro and the old town was a short walk across the bridge. The apartment is beautiful - sparkling with fabulous amenities. Great wifi and very comfortable bedrooms and couch area and the bathroom is very spacious - all exactly as per the photos. We were two couples and found it ideal. Marc and Helene are excellent hosts, from guiding us in to parking as the road was closed on the day we arrived, helping carry our bags up the two flights as the lift was out and excellent restaurant recommendations. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a spot in Lyon - we would definately stay there again if we were back in town.

This is an exceptional apartment.

This apartment in Lyon is of the highest standard with air conditioning, state of the art communications, automatic taps, soft close drawers and more. We stayed in the apartment for two weeks and found it to be ideally located for boulangerie (directly downstairs), Metro, bus and tram (virtually next door), taxis (across the street) restaurants, cafes, bars (everywhere), shopping (retail area across the street). Lyon is an easy city to get around with pleasant walks in the old town and lovely walks along the banks of both rivers. We couldn't have asked for more and Hélène and Marc were always available with helpful suggestions for touristy ideas and restaurant recommendations. Even though it is situated right in the centre of town near Place Bellcour we didn't find the outside noise a problem.

Amazing apartment in superb location

The apartment has been beautifully and tastefully renovated with a fine attention to detail. The appliances are all top of the range and original art works from local artists add to the superb decor. The air-conditioning is a blessing as we arrived when it was 36C. There is Apple TV with Netflix and we watched a few movies to unwind after our busy days. The kitchen is stocked amply with cooking utensils, and enough plates, cups, cutlery and a varied array of wine glasses to host a party. The Nespresso machine with some complimentary pods was a thoughtful touch. There was even a clothes horse so we could avoid using the dryer and all our washing dried overnight. The wardrobe fit-out was excellent. I would love to replicate it at home. The beds were comfortable and the linens were top hotel quality with both firm and soft pillows. There is a lift to help deliver your luggage when you arrive but best avoided the rest of the time as you need the stairs to help compensate for all the wonderful food. There is a patisserie next door and an entire street of restaurants one minutes walk away. There is an ATM and a taxi rank directly across the road and the supermarket and the shopping plaza are just a few minutes' walk. The metro is also a short walk but Lyon is such an easy city to walk around we rarely used it. Helene and Marc were superb hosts and responded to emails and calls immediately even though they were away on holiday themselves at the time. When they returned they hosted us to wine and oysters at Les Halles de Lyon. The only addition to the apartment we would like to see is a full length mirror perhaps in the wardrobe door and a shelf in the shower. We advised Marc and Helene of this and they took note. We would highly recommend the apartment and would not hesitate to book it again.

Contemporary luxury!

A great choice for our family of four adults. Would be even better with block out bedroom curtains, and perfect with a second bathroom, toilet or a 2-way bathroom from the large bedrooms. And bring your earplugs if street noise bothers you. Still worth the stay!

Spacious, clean, well located

Gorgeous apartment, well-appointed and located right in the heart of Lyon, between the two rivers. Contemporary design, sleek kitchen and bathroom with period features such as high ceilings, large windows and fire place. Apartment is sparkling clean, as per photos and description. Met by the owner's daughter who provided an excellent introduction. Close to a metro station with many tourist spots within walking distance. There is some street noise on the weekends at night, but given the location in the middle of a city, you need to expect this. New Years Eve was particularly noisy. Lyon public transport is excellent and it is a wonderful city for history and culture. We particularly enjoyed the Musée des Confluences, the Musée Gallo-Roman, the view from the Fourviere and the charming streets of Vieux Lyon.

Amazing apartment

This place was absolutely a joy to stay in. It was impeccable and all the amenities were top notch. The only slight problem we would note is it can get a little loud as there is a pub directly next door but not too much of an issue. Couldn’t recommend the place enough.

Stunning apartment in an amazing location

This apartment is so well located to the main tourist points of interest. Step out the door and there are cafes, restaurants, food shops, tourist sights ... I would thoroughly recommend it. It has everything one needs for a few nights in Lyon. As it is located in the central city there is the usual city noise but it was not a bother at night and added to the vibrant city feel. I would definitely stay here again if returning to Lyon.

Wonderful unit so modern so clean

Marc and Helene are wonderful to communicate with. Their apartment is absolutely gorgeous modern clean and sexy. It is in a great location with so many shops and restos. The very quiet built in AC is a dream and Netflix is a bonus. We stayed only 5 nights but next year we will be returning to the same unit for 9 nights because we live it so much. Thank you Helene and Marc for taking such pride in your apartment because it shows! You have every amenity one can think of and need and that is very much appreciated. We were sad to leave your beautiful place but see you next year.

Great apartment in Lyon

My wife and I have just spent a wonderful week in Lyon and La Presqu'ile made our trip even more special. The apartment is located in the heart of the city, and easy walk or bike ride to numerous sites and restaurants. But more important is it is an oasis to come home to. The apartment is well appointed, we cooked numerous dinners there, and very comfortable after a day in the city. Or if you prefer to go out it is convenient to nightlife and the subway for farther locations. Marc and Helene were extremely helpful and responsive, we appreciated all of their restaurant suggestions. I highly recommend La Presqu'ile, you won't be disappointed.

Belle rénovation d'un appartement lyonnais traditionnel à 2 pas de la Place Bellecour

Appartement très bien équipé pour accueillir dans le confort deux couples : excellents couchages, salle de bain spacieuse, cuisine "de cordon bleu", hifi vidéo de belle facture . Emplacement central dont le seul inconvénient est de donner sur la rue des Marronniers prisée des noctambules.

Great location, comfortable apartment, responsive host

This is a great place to stay in Lyon. It is right off of a major square and to the Metro - which is very easy to use. There are many restaurants and bars within easy walking distance, as well as all kinds of shops. The apartment itself is well appointed and we appreciated that the basics (soap, paper towels, water bottles) were available for guests. We did not cook but clearly there was everything one would need to do so. The hosts were very responsive in meeting us to let us in right after we arrived in Lyon and also giving us the tips we had requested on recommended restaurants, etc. Totally recommend this as a great location and comfortable apartment.

Lovely In Lyon

Apartment La Presqu'ile is an absolutely magnificent apartment located in the center of the action in Lyon. Prior reviews have covered it all; however I will say it again. My husband and I spent eight days there in mid-April. The apartment is spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed. It has both both heat and air conditioning, three AppleTVs and a Harman Kardon bluetooth speaker. The modern kitchen is fully equipped for all kinds of cooking and the dishwasher makes for easy cleanup. The dishes and glassware are exquisite. The washer/dryer tucked into a closet in the foyer means that you can limit the amount of clothes that you have to bring. Towels and sheets are on a par with those of luxury luxury hotels. For those of us who still prefer to hold a printed book rather than read it electronically, there is superb lighting including in the bedrooms. The managers of this wonderful apartment, Marc and Helene, have thought of everything that would contribute to the comfort of their guests. They are very responsive and the one small problem we had was attended to promptly. You are steps away from Place Bellecour and the Old Town.There is a Patisserie located on the ground floor of the building. One awakes from peaceful slumber in one of the apartments large comfortable beds to the heavenly smell of croissants baking. Indeed, what more could a traveler want?

Luxurious

The apartment is clean, well designed and centrally located. It’s within a 10-15 minute walk of most of the key tourist areas in Lyon. It sits next to a small street that offers a wide assortment of good restaurants. The only drawback is the noise might be a challenge for light sleepers. The owners were extremely responsive to all questions and requests.

Nicely appointed, excellent location, spacious and welcoming host

The apartment was perfectly situated on the Pres Qu’ile. A short walk took us to the Place Bellecoeur and a few steps more brought us to Vieux Lyon. There was a small market just a few store fronts down and several restaurants within walking distance — including the Rue des Marronnieres. The apartment itself was spacious and had more than enough room for my wife and I, plus our two children (13 and 11 years old). There was quite a lot of storage space which allowed us to keep our suitcases out of the way. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, a coffee machine, and a tea kettle. The most convenient feature, however, was the separate shower and toilet rooms. It allowed for the toilet to be free while someone was showering or getting ready. The only downside to such a great location was the noise. Most bars were open until about 1 AM and the traffic — both pedestrian and vehicles — tended to be on the loud side. Overall we were quite pleased with our stay and would stay there again!

Picture perfect

The place is absolutely beautiful. I would stay here again if I ever get the chance. They keep a full schedule and it's easy to see why. I read a couple reviews which said it could be noisy at night, but I see that differently. You're right in the very best spot in the city where everyone else wants to be too. Compared to an American city at night it's silent as the grave. The owners were very kind and accommodating to all my needs. The apartment is truly magnificent. It has all the conveniences you could wish for, the equipment is flawless. One of my favorite features is the Netflix and the smart TV. Those were big selling points for me, as I don't speak French. I was able to keep up with all my shows at home, and relax with a good movie. I just can't can't enough good things about the apartment or the wonderful people that own it. 5 star, no questions asked. You wont find a better place anywhere, trust me I looked at all of them. If you're thinking of booking this property, do it now before someone else gets it.

Perfect Lyon

The apartment is centrally located on Presque Isle. It is fully equipped and the pictures are very accurate but understate the truly excellent condition. The kitchen is vacation equipped so the majority of needs will be met. The owners are very accommodating and check to make sure your stay is comfortable. This is a city apartment so there is street noise. I stayed alone in the apartment, so I used the back bedroom and that mitigated the noise for me, but if you are a light sleeper it could be a problem. If you are looking for a centrally located apartment in impeccable condition this is it.

The apartment is beautiful and very well appointed. Everything is well maintained and tastefully done. The location is very convenient. We felt very comfortable in the apartment. The only thing is as some other people have mentioned, it can get noisy at night over the weekend due to its location, but this is not something that can be changed.
