    The apartment is located in a quiet neighbourhood in Lyon. There is a bus stop just around the corner and the connections to the city centre are very good. It is nicely furnished and you got everything you need. Another nice to have is the whirlpool in the garden. Last but not least, Tal is a very nice host who is always quick to help if needed.

    A small studio decorated with great attention to detail and comfort. In a charming tenement house, renovated and extremely clean. The hosts (Lise and Adrien) take care of the smallest details. As soon as it got cold, we were provided with heating and... delicious cake. Very good communication (close to the metro). Peace and quiet. Great WiFi. The kitchen is small, but very comfortable and well-equipped. Constant contact with the hosts. The bed was very large and very comfortable. Perfect use of space.Had great time. Thank You

    We had a wonderful stay at this charming apartment in Lyon. The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood, just a short walk from the city center. It is well-appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen and a cozy living room. The host was amiable and helpful and provided some great recommendations for restaurants and things to do in Lyon in the apartment. We recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Lyon.

    Great location, unexpected to find this gem and very comfy beds for a good night rest. Private parking was good for keeping our motor bikes of the street. Gilbert, the hotelier was so charming and a great host. Love goes out to both Gilbert and his dog Leon for making our stay great.
