Frédéric’s apartment is one of the most unusual and memorable places I’ve stayed. It’s rare to stay somewhere with so much genuine character, surrounded by the art, books and objects of someone who clearly has a serious engagement with art and culture. It feels completely different from the generic Airbnb experience, and there’s a lovely sense of trust in being invited to spend time in such a personal and carefully collected space. The apartment itself is full of charm and personality, very quiet, and brilliantly located for exploring Lyon. If you appreciate art, books, interesting interiors and places with a life of their own, it’s quite special. Frédéric was a wonderful host and I feel very lucky to have stayed there.

Location, interior decorating, great sitting area and it was quiet with a comfortable bed

The sleeping area is in a loft with little height. It works fine it you don’t mind bending over to get in and out of bed.

The room's location and ambiance were fantastic. Frederic is a wonderful person, very friendly and supportive in every way. If you're visiting Lyon for tourism, you absolutely must stay in Vieux Lyon. I highly recommend Chambres d'hôtes Artelit. It's close to everything, and its location is fantastic. You're staying inside the Tour Rose, which adds a beautiful touch to your trip.

It would be better if the wifi signal was a bit stronger.

Very smooth and efficient. Frederic met us and provided maps and suggestions for our visit.

During our short stay the weather plummeted to -2 and the old system of storage heaters struggled to maintain comfortable heat. Picture quality of the television prohibitive - not living up to the task of providing a cosy, relaxing experience. WiFi - was free but connectivity issues and generally unstable.
