Disappointing
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : Location near tram, train and shops.
  : Complicated Apartment key location for access. Living room permanently metalsheet- welded & shuttered, no daylight at all & can't open the window! Not well maintained. Great big rubbish bag left in apartment for NO apparent reason!

  : Good location for us to walk into Lyon city centre and also take train from Part Dieu to visit friends in Valence and also take Rhone express to and from airport. Comfortable bed. Apartment had everything we needed. It was really quiet and looked out onto a yard and garden.
  : It was a 30 minute walk into Lyon city centre so not very central if you just want to explore the old part of the city. We couldn't get the TV to work. The bathroom floor flooded when we took a shower.

  : Probably the only good thing is that is close to a shop.
  : .The tv was not working.The shower drain was blocked.The whole place was dusty.Really weird sounds coming from all over the building.(poor isolated).No enough crockery for cooking. Not even a board for a cheese platter.Not enough glassware. One of the bedside lamp didn't even had a plug to be put in.Looks like an apartment that was rent out for the 1st time and they did not had time to think of details.The list could go forever.

  : We traveled as a family of four and booked this apartment for four nights. We had a previous booking of other accommodation but decided to change it due to lack of Air Conditioning. We were truly and honestly surprised to see a Portable Air Conditioner instead of a proper AC and that is after the owner clearly state that he has AC. It was a small unit, not suited to cool the apartment. No place for the hot air to go out so we had to place the tube through the window every time we got back home.Luck has it and during our stay, the weather in Lyon was very hot and to our disappointment, we could not find shelter at our apartment. So much we were suffering that in one point we considered booking other location, better suited to handle the heat.We would not be bothered by all that if only the owner would not lie and write that he has "AC".The shower was small and packed, kitchen with pans without handles (need a towel to pick them up), broken shelf in the closet. The coach had a cover which when we picked it up we understood why, it was stained in such a matter that we couldnt sit on it. The table was unstable and not safe to be used. The only good thing about this apartment is the location.

  : Location was great. Walking distance from the trainstain and other public transport. There was a small kitchen and tv with netflix. It was clean and comfortable go sleep in.
  : The description said someone would meet us but we had no human contact in our 5 days stay. A small name outside the door would be nice. The location of the keys were very confusing. We could not find the keys or the room itself. The video for keys on the link does not help at all. Apparently it was in a postbox which we had to push open. It gets a bit noisy in the night, somebody is parking the scooter beside the room at 3am and you can hear every movement. The room smelled very stuffy when we walked in. There is big stain on the sofa. Small but crucial things were missing like handsoap, dishsoap, chopping board, some extra kitchen towels. There is a portable air conditioning, very noisy and does not really do the job very well. No curtain on the bathroom window, so feels uncomfortable to use the toilet and shower. I requested for an iron but did not get any response back. Little things like this could complete the apartment.
