QUAI DE SAÔNE - FOURVIERE VIEW
What a beautiful apartment. The furnishings and artwork are charming and it has everything we needed. With views across the river to Fouviere, which is lit up at night, it was wonderful. The location is perfect for visiting the old town and an Uber gets you to the main station for daytrips. It's quiet for sleeping yet there are bars downstairs. An excellent supermarket 3 minutes away for all your needs. We didn't meet Emmanuel but he was quick to respond to queries.

Apartment 3 min from Les Jacobins
We loved our stay in Lyon amidst lots of restaurants and a vibrant community.

Central & Cosy 2BR Opera/Terreaux - Check-in 24/7
Large, very comfortable and well equipped apartment in a great location just near the metro of Hotel de Ville. We felt right at home and would definitely stay again if we ever return to Lyon. Merci!

Amazing Artistic Flat Fit 4 - Vieux Lyon
Highly recommend this lovely apartment! It had everything we needed for a two week stay. The bed was really comfortable and there was plenty of hot water in the shower (with great water pressure). The apartment does not have AC, but we were pleasantly surprised with how cool it remained. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Lyon. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful 3-room, heart of the peninsula, rooms facing the courtyard
We found this beautiful apartment to be very well located, spotless and meeting all of our needs during our stay. Great mattress, lots of towels, a variety of kitchen utensils, dishware and glassware. And there is a dryer! We look forward to returning.
Large prestigious apartment on the Presqu'île
Loved this airbnb. Lyon is a great city and the location of the apartment made it easy to explore various areas. Everything you need is very close by. Alain was super kind and helpful and a gracious host. The kitchen is very well equipped and would be a great kitchen to cook in if you have time. Highly recommended!

Appartement cosy, Lyon centre
Very clean accommodation! This is my second time here and I highly recommend it!

Cosy & design flat. City Center. View Rhône.
The space had everything we needed. We appreciated the flexible check in time. It was near a lot of restaurants. The views were beautiful but it was loud due to the busy street right outside. The bed was comfortable and the mini washer was convenient. The tower fan was needed as it was getting hot, glad it was provided. Definitely a workout going up and down we since we had previous knowledge of it we did not find this an issue.
