Great location, nice apartment, kitchen could be better stocked
We spent 10 days at this apartment. Location is excellent, a 5 minute walk from Lyon Perrache station and the Ampere-Victor Hugo Metro station, on a quiet side street. Grocery, bakery, pharmacy are all right around the corner, and plenty of good eating options within a 5-10 minute walk. It's 3 floors up from street level; elevator is small but modern. The building is quiet.
The apartment is clean and bright, beds are very comfortable, adequate storage space. One oddity is that the toilet is separate from the bathroom and has no sink.
WiFi worked well; we did not use the TV/entertainment system. Although the appliances are fairly intuitive, written instructions would be helpful.
The kitchen has adequate dishes/glassware, silverware and pots and pans, but lacks many basic implements (no large slotted or unslotted spoons, no can opener). There were a few steak knives but no other knives for food prep. No condiments or basic supplies (oil, flour, sugar) were provided, not even salt and pepper.
The washing machine was great but no laundry detergent was provided. There is no dryer but there is a clothes drying rack.
Communication with the managing agency was ok - we never received the promised email with access instructions beforehand, but when we called the agency on our arrival day we were met at the front door and shown around the apartment.
With a few enhancements (more kitchen implements and some basic dry goods and provisions) would up from 4 stars to 5.
