About this property

Lovely apartment, bright and quiet in the heart of the historic district

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.

Great spot, beautiful views, but small second bedroom and very, very steep hill/stairs so luggage should be light (ride share/taxi won’t go up it) and mobility should be good.

It is a lovely flat with great views it the river. It is close to all of the vieux Lyon activities. The hosts are responsive and friendly to international travelers. All of the instructions are clear. It’s a bit of a walk up a steep hill, but it is a chance to walk off your bouchon Lyonaise meal. Our family stayed 8 days and would choose this again.

We had a really pleasant stay in this lovely apartment in Vieux Lyon, located just across the St George bridge. Attractively decorated, very clean and tidy, and stocked with necessities. Compact, yet comfortable for four people.The cobbled streets of the old town are charming - lined with traditional restaurants, great bakeries, and additionally fresh food snd antique markets on both banks of the Soane River. Easily walkable to interesting sights in Vieux Lyon, including two ancient Roman amphitheatres and the Fouvriere basilica on the hill dating from the late 1800s - pleasant places to see late afternoon when the basilica’s facade is illuminated by the last rays of sunlight. There, from the nearby viewing platform one can look down upon the city of Lyon and its rivers laid out like a map below.A must for anyone interested in art is a visit to the musee des Beaux Artes - France’s second major art museum. Also the city quarter with numerous jewellery, craft, and art ateliers stocking genuinely locally made products. Thanks to our obliging hosts and the accomodation we had a really enjoyable holiday in Lyon.

Emplacement idéal pour accès au métro et à la ville

Nous sommes restés dans cet appartement pendant une canicule record pendant tous notre voyages. Bien que la salle n’est pas climatisée, les hôtes nous ont fournis un refroidisseur pour aider. Mais la nuit tombée, il y avait toujours un beau vent de fraîcheur qui venait par les fenêtres donnant sur la ville. La télé et internet ont plus aux enfants, et la bouteille de vin proposée était délicieuse. Petit astuce pour éviter la cote… prenez le funiculaire…. Est plus facile descendre que de la remonter :). Merci 1000 fois Thierry !

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.

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.

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.

Fabulous location, clean & charming apartment

We had a great weeklong stay in Vieux Lyon. We loved the proximity but far enough away from the touristy noise and foot traffic. Bellcour Metro was our main starting point, as we came to Lyon for the Women's World Cup. Christiane met us on arrival to give us a quick orientation, and she and Thierry were both extremely responsive to our questions and needs. It was sooo much appreciated that the apartment has multiple fans and a cooler, as there was a heatwave during our stay. You are steps (150-200?) from the Roman amphitheatre. Such a wonderful place - thank you, Christiane & Thierry!

Wonderful Stay in the heart of Lyon

We had a wonderful 5-day stay in this apartment. The apartment is very clean, tastefully decorated and very quiet. Before our stay, the owners were very responsive to our inquiries and when we arrived, Thierry welcomed us and gave us some good recommendations. Best of all, the apartment is close to everything we wanted to explore. Although it's near the Vieux Lyon metro station, we walked everywhere. The apartment is a few minutes away from the Saone River and after crossing a pedestrian bridge and going down a staircase, we were able to run along the Saone in either direction. We were also close to the daily market along the river and went each morning to buy our daily bread, fruit and vegetables. Staying in this apartment allowed us to be part of the daily rhythm of this beautiful city and made for a memorable experience. All in all, a wonderful stay. Just one caveat: the apartment is up a short, but steep hill so those with mobility issues could be challenged.

Old town Lyon.

The apartment was clean. The photos were exact. Bed comfortable, kitchen well equipped, location perfect, never had to use public transit we walked everywhere. The hill up to the apartment was a friendly challenge. There was a little street noise from the double bedroom when sleeping with the windows open. The hosts were friendly and cooperative and we enjoyed the bottle of wine they gave us. Overall a great experience.

Excellent week in Lyon

We had a lovely week, the apartment was excellent, a great location even with the steep climb, it is right in the old town and yet quiet. It is well decorated and equipped, and we were very comfortable there. The neighbours were friendly and we had a great time exploring Lyon, a town which exceeded our expectations. There was so much to do we never even left town for a day trip, and we still didn't complete our list...Thanks for the lovely welcome - we felt at home straight away.
