If you are after authentic Lyon stay here! The location is fantastic. IMO the best place to stay in Lyon for a short visit. I loved the vaulted ceilings and massive stone walls. It’s definitely not new, but I felt like I was staying in an actual Traboule. It’s very quiet. Carine the manager is very accessible.

The furnishings are a little tired, but the lovely space makes up for that. The long walk up a dark corridor to access the apartment was a bit daunting at first, but that is part of the charm.

Gorgeous building in a fantastic location.

No aircon / cooling

Great location.

The location in the city of Lyon was good.

The owner does not indicate anywhere that you must carry your baggage first up 10 stairs, walk down a long, dark hallway with peeling paint, go up 4 more stairs, over a platform then down 4 more steps before you get to the actual small courtyard where you then climb a steep narrow staircase of 5 more stairs & then 12 more to finally get to the accommodations in the back of the building. Please refer to the included photos. It’s a strenuous ordeal for anyone with physical problems, anyone older or someone with additional luggage. Traversing this obstacle course numerous times during our stay has soured us on ever returning again. The owner should have noted this in their description. Although this accommodation does feature windows, the views are of the small, inner courtyard, not of the riverfront as you would see on Google street views. This apartment is ideal for the young or a person who is only carrying a backpack. Parking was available across the street in a public garage along the river but it is very expensive.
