Best location in Lyon
We spent 8 wonderful weeks in Marie's apartment (May-June 2023). I don't think we could have had a better experience.
We were met by the agent, at the appointed time. She helped enormously with taking our luggage (2 x 20 kg) up the 30 or so steps of the (wide, stone) spiral staircase to the 2nd floor. The living room is large, bright, well appointed, as is the kitchen. We did not use the oven or dishwasher, nor did we use the heating or a/c. Very good TV, very fast WiFi connection ...
The bathroom is quirky, up a short staircase, with a good shower. The toilet is on the same level as the bedrooms & living room.
The living room has four big windows overlooking Rue Mercière, which is the busiest restaurant street in Lyon (every building has a restaurant of some sort), but with very efficient double glazing on the front windows, we could either have just a slight background buzz, or open the windows to enjoy the noise and bustle from the street. The street can be very noisy very late in the night and early morning, but the main bedroom is at the back, overlooking an internal courtyard, so is very quiet.
The overall location is ideal, at the centre of the main part of the Presqu'île (i.e. between Place des Terreaux and Place Bellecour, very close to the market on Place Saint-Antoine, and just across the Passerelle du Palais-de-Justice to Vieux Lyon.
Thank you Marie,
