Sur les hauteurs du Vieux Lyon - One-Bedroom Apartment

The space was very unique, the Youtube vidoe to locate the property was a perfect touch and saved alot of hassle. The location on the hill was tough, you absolutely must be in shape to stay here. Over 5 flights of stairs to get from the main street tothe property... but the listing did say that. The property has a great location between The Cathedral of Notre Dame and St. James cathedral, both are stunning and it has great access to museums, food, small groceries, dhopping...just remember whatever you by at the base of the hill, you have to carry back up the many steps at the end of the day.

It´s a silent apartment and very well located to reach the city centre. The online pictures don´t represent the actual state of the apartment and at the arrival we hoped not to have to contact the owner because of problems...The comunication with the owner was very fluent though. It should also be mentioned, that the apartment and especially the shower isn´t made for tall people (over 1.85 meters). The kitchen should also definetly be updated because there weren´t many plates and only two teaspoons etc.

The place is a wonderful...<br>#128578; The location is just amazing! Right in the centre of the main city. The market was just downhill<br>#128577; The stairs the apartment but after we got used to it, it wasn’t a problem at all

To say our stay was riddled with problems would be an understatement. The problems began before we arrived when we realised that from the nearest metro station we would have to climb either 14 flights of stairs or walk up a large hill - all with suitcases. While the ad mentions the “heights” of Old Lyon, there is no mention of the accessibility issues in reaching the apartment. When you finally reach the building, there are 3 more staircases through a dilapidated building to reach the flat. Inside, we noticed, among other things, extensive staining on the couch, and the most uncomfortable bed I’ve slept on - rather than slats under the mattress for even support, there were three metal bars from the frame that could be acutely felt through the mattress. The cherry on top: no Wi-Fi or television. The host (or their partner, I’m not sure who I actually spoke with) claimed there was a problem in the building that meant the Wi-Fi and television services were down. This implies a known and ongoing issue, which means it should’ve been communicated before our arrival along with an attempt to find other suitable accommodation. Communication from the host was unsympathetic and unapologetic. No known attempts were made to fix the issue (they said they would call a technician but no update was ever provided). Lastly, no check out instructions (or book of house rules & information) were provided, leaving us in the dark about expectations. Stay away unless you want to be scammed.

My friend and I stayed here over the weekend for a wedding. Be forewarned: there are a lot of stairs both in the way from the metro and into the apartment but never fear we came up with a fool proof way to get through the treks: play Voulez-vous by ABBA and it’ll be a breeze. The place itself was small as was to be expected but still had plenty of space for the two of us for a couple of days. It’s quiet and the bed was comfy.
