All in Lyon | T2 Le Verlaine – Villeurbanne - Apartment

😊: The property was really good and it had everything we needed for our 3-day stay in Lyon. Heating was great, the towels clean and fresh (which is not always the case in other properties), espresso machine with coffee capsules, sachets for hot Chocolate and tea and very nice overall renovated interior. Parking was also easy in the surrounding streets which was very important for us because we had rented a car at the airport. Following our request, our host had replied that normally there is no shampoo or shower gel in the apartment but when we arrived all this was settled.. 😢: The big issue was how the building entrance looked after we would step inside the street door. The garbage bins where inside the building and the whole atmosphere before starting going up the stairs created an unpleasant scenere (my wife and with our 11-year old son wouldn't go alone up to the apartment unless I was with them). I understand that this may be beyond the control of the property owner but I mention it because it somewhtat affected our stay. The second issue was that although the bathroom was great and large, the toilet was at a separate room and really small, I am 1.87cm tall and I could bearly get inside without the closing door touching my knees..

😊: The location was ideal and decoration was good. And the staff was responsive and quick when I asked for extra bedding for the sofa bed and how to use the stove etc. I really appreciated that responsive aspect. Also bakery below and supermarket nearby was convenient.. 😢: I think the cleaning lady could do a much better job. The apartment is quite dusty and the toilet’s window was broken so it was a bit cold in the toilet. There was also a whole pile of dirty bedsheets in the bathroom placed on top of the washing machine which the management apologized for but I had to look at it for the duration of my stay….
