Phillipe is an excellent host. The house is spotlessly clean, safe and in an very good location near the St. Just funicular metro stop. It has a kitchen and a very nice living room and bedroom upstairs. We very much hope to stay there again.
We had a lovely stay, so comfy, quiet and peaceful yet close to shops, the Metro (Saint Just Funicular) and a bus stop into central Lyon right outside the door. The apartment is delightful!
Phillipe was very kind and helpful. Thank you!
Nice apartment in higher Lyon. Cosy garden, private parking place and very friendly owner. Nice to have the funiculaire at 300 meters from the apartment. It is permitted to take your bike in the funiculaire. In this way you can reach the centre of the old town in 3 minutes. Kitchen, toilet and shower are downstairs. Livingroom and bedroom with good bed are upstairs.
Beautiful town house. Lovely relaxing outdoor sitting area in the garden with table and chairs. Well equipped kitchen. Good location - 10 min walk to the basilica and 3 min walk to the funicular that takes you to Vieux Lyon. Philippe is a wonderful host. He gave us lots of tips and advice. He provided a hand drawn map and a big bowl of fresh fruit.
We had a wonderful stay in Lyon. Philippe was an excellent host with good English so we could communicate well with him. The unit is totally separate from his house, so we had complete privacy. The bedroom is on the upper level, so you need to be mobile enough to go up and down to use the bathroom on the main level. The location is convenient to use the public transportation. It is a short walk to the Roman Theatre ruins and to the Eglise Saint-Irenee. Philippe has a garden that we enjoyed. We highly this property and when we visit Lyon again, we would stay here.
We had a wonderful stay at Philippe's rental. The apartment is well appointed and there is a private outdoor sitting area. It is situated in a mostly residential area with good restaurants close by. The funicular is a 5 minute walk away and will take you to Old Lyon in 10 minutes. Philippe is wonderful and is always there for you. We would highly recommend this rental.
Philippe was a great host, friendly, and always responsive. The apartment has everything you need for a short or longer stay, and having an outdoor garden area is a bonus. The location is great - a short walk to the Fenicular which gets you to the old town in 2 minutes which is lovely, lots of cafes and restaurants, while a further 5 minute walk across the bridge gets you in to Lyon proper which is lovely city.
There’s a supermarket, butcher and boloungerie in easy walking distance. It’s a great place to stay.
We cannot fault the stay in anyway. Philippe was the perfect host. We stayed for 2 weeks, the house is clean ,comfortable and very quiet, the courtyard is perfect for sitting out in. Philippe lives nearby and is always on hand to help and offer any advice, check in and in fact the whole stay was so trouble free.The location is perfect, the funicular is about 500 yards away which leads directly to all metro/tram/bus lines. Lyon is a very beautiful city, the food is as nice as you would hope, the locals are very friendly. We are sad to leave. Thank you Philippe :)
We loved our stay at this house on top of the hill in Fourviere. The location is brilliant - the funicular that takes you down to Vieux Lyon and Metro connections to the rest of Lyon is just a few minutes walk from the house, and it’s also an easy walk to the amazing basilica that can be seen from across Lyon, and to the Roman amphitheater and museum. The house itself was very comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed, very clean, comfortable bed, plenty of space for the two of us, and a lovely little garden area to sit for drinks and food. A real oasis. Philippe was an excellent host, extremely hospitable and helpful. We highly recommend this house to other travelers!
The house itself is very thoughtfully set out, with a good selection of kitchen tools (good knives!) and a comfortable bed and couch. The neighborhood is charming, with several nice restaurants very nearby, and a few places to get supplies for cooking at home. Fourviere Basilica and the ruins of Lugdunum are approx 10 mins walk away, the funicular into Vieux Lyon is 3 minutes away, and all in all, this is a perfectly situated spot. The garden and its denizens are lovely. Philipe is a thoughtful, pleasant host, who checked in on us when our paths crossed and gave us some very welcome suggestions. I would wholeheartedly recommend this house to friends and family, and would cheerfully come back.
It was such a a surprise to find our backyard was a large garden! Philippe was an exceptional host! His hand drawn map of the local streets was much more useful than Google maps!
Downstairs you find the bathroom+ separate toilet and a spacious kitchen equiped with everything a homecook needs.
Upstairs are the rooms with garden views. A spacious living area and large master bedroom. Room to do yoga! Tastefully renovated, reflecting the owners style. A beautiful vase belonging to his grandmother was just another delight to discover.
There are no laundry facilities. But nothing to worry about with a Laundromat just across the street.
A quick walk to the funicular and connections to the very efficient metro & tram system make it very easy for traveller's without a car! We highly recommend the Lyon city card that includes public transport.
Philippe's English is great which was very helpful as we are non french speaking Australians!
The location and a fabulous host make this a "must book" for Lyon!
We enjoyed our stay in Philipe's home which was charmed and modern, with everything you need to cook if you like or just have a restful moment with a cup of coffee from the Nespresso machine provided. His place overlooks his beautiful garden on one side and the street on the other; both were quiet during our stay.
We were in the midst of a heat wave so it was very hot in the evenings. If you plan to stay when it's very hot, I recommend wearing light pajamas and possibly having a water spray bottle to help you cool off while the fan blows.
The location of the home was about two blocks to the funicular, and the public transit system in Lyon is very easy to navigate. We were able to go everywhere we wanted conveniently with a 48 hour metro pass. If you are not very mobile, I highly recommend the funicular, as the walk up and down to Vieux Lyon is one very very long cobblestoned street.
Thank you for your warm hospitality Philipe!
The location of the house is amazing. We stayed 7 days and went to Bellecour (main square) TCL bus operator (bus stop outside) where we purchased a 7 day pass for 22 euros giving access to ALL transport. Funicular is 2 minutes walk away, buses outside door. The system is ultra simple and the location meant we were able to explore the WHOLE city fast, efficiently and at a minimal cost. One of the best bakeries I know in France is a few steps away (grains de sucre) and there are a few local shops around it too. As we ate out mostly, it wasn't difficult for us to buy a few basics.
The house is lovely, decorated with taste and very light. Be aware loo and bathroom are downstairs so not a house for limited mobility but then neither is Lyon which can be up and down often and is HUGE.
Philippe, our host, is a perfect host and gentleman. The house has plenty of bin bags, loo rolls, detergent, cooking oils, vinegars etc which, again, is great. We called on Philippe a couple of times and he gave us immediate assistance.
We would recommend this home 100 %. Fabuleux... MERCI PHILIPPE.
Gîte très bien situé, à 900 m de Notre Dame de fourvière .Funiculaire à 300m , ça permet de se rendre en ville sans prendre sa voiture. Propriétaire très accueillant et sympathique.
Le logement est tres bien situé. Nous avons tout fait à pied.
Philippe est tres accueillant et donne de bons conseils.
Le petit espace exterieur est un plus.
Nous avons passé 1 agreable sejour.
Le logement mis à disposition correspond parfaitement à l'annonce. Il est très propre, bien équipé et dans un environnement de qualité et très desservi. S'il fallait un plus sur ce logement qui présente déjà beaucoup de qualités, je dirais que Philippe, le propriétaire est un modèle de gentillesse, d'attention et de discrétion. Le 10 s'impose.
Magnifique!
Philippe est un hôte tres gentil! La petite maison impeccable, tres bonne situation, propre est tres cosy. Meme avec nos deux chiens pas de soucis! A refaire
