Superbe ancien magasin de bateliers de la Saone à 10 minutes du Vieux Lyon

Perhaps in France they have a different definition of the words ‘clean’ and ‘superb’. This property was neither. In many ways it’s lovely, but in reality it’s not as described in the listing. It’s in the old town, built into the rocks only a few meters from the river. But the area is quite scruffy and it’s certainly not in the heart of the old town. It’s also quite poorly thought through. For instance, the bathroom and toilet are at opposite ends of the apartment, when there’s space enough to have them together. Also, the fridge freezer is tall and stacked on top of a washing machine. So, unless you’re an NBA basketball player you’re not getting to the top half. There was no step ladder provided, so my wife had to stand on a kitchen chair to clean out the mold when we arrived. This brings me to the worst point: the property was dirty and damp. Not student house dirty, but not adequately clean and certainly nowhere near the standard of the other 9 properties we’ve rented on this trip. Everything was dusty, the kitchen and bathroom were not clean and there were no rubbish sacks in the bins. Worst of all, though, was the damp bedroom and water on the floor and inside the wardrobe. When I pointed this out to the host, they replied that the flat had been cleaned, that I could get some bin sacks from the shop, and that they were not aware of any damp issues. When I sent photos of the water, they stopped responding.

Easy access to Vieux Lyon and Confluence using the convenient transportation system. The renovated apartment was just perfect and the owner was very hospitable! We did not want for anything. A VERY cozy place to live!

Host is very accommodating, secure and quite place, can walk around not too far but close enough to the touristy areas. It's right at the river side, so you can see the beautiful view when you go out from the apartment. Also, the outdoor area is much love to hang out in the morning for coffee and wine at night. Highly recommended.

This was by far the best VRBO where my family has stayed in over 15 years of traveling together. Laurent, our host has created a most beautiful apartment that is comfortable, well apportioned and perfectly situated near the Old City of Lyon. Lyon, a great walking city, is full of history, culture, great restaurants and cafes and the apartment is within a short walking distance from everything. We were able to take day trips to the Beaujolais Wine Region and out into the countryside and come back to enjoy a nice bottle of wine on the apartments stone walled patio. I highly recommend 11 Rue de Pierre Scrize and will definitely stay again on our next trip back to Lyon.

The location was in a great neighborhood with easy access to public transportation, the old City and some great restaurants. The apartment has a lovely walled courtyard for outdoor dining and relaxing. Laurent was very responsive to questions about the apartment.

We stayed in Lyon for 2 nights while in France, this was a great apartment that stayed cool in the hot summer temps. My friends and I enjoyed sitting in the courtyard with wine and talking to the host, who went above and beyond to make us comfortable! We also easily explored the city with the apartment in walking distance of bus stops and the main square. Would stay again!

Nous avons beaucoup aimé ce logement. Le séjour s’y est très bien passé. Les propriétaires ont été très agréables. Merci eux .

A fantastic apartment - I would absolutely recommend this accommodation to anyone. My partner and I spent a very happy three months here at the beginning of a move to France and we loved it! The space itself is beautiful, and definitely larger than it looks in the pictures with everything we needed for a long stay. The double bed is large and comfortable and the courtyard was a real asset. We spent many nights cooking outside on the plancha and really appreciated having a great bit of outdoor space. The location is also brilliant, with the apartment being only a 10 minute walk from the old town. Laurent is a fantastic host, and in a number of ways went above and beyond not only to ensure we were comfortable, but also to help us settle into a new life in a new country and for that we are very appreciative. An excellent apartment and a fantastic host. Thank you for everything Laurent.
