Anne Marie A., New York, NY USA

We loved staying in this apartment for many reasons---it was easy to schedule & we had good communication; were met by a lovely assistant who showed us how to use the appliances & keys; it's clean, has all modern conveniences, lots of space, a great shower with plenty of hot water, comfortable bed & living room, excellent pillows, linens & towels, and an absolutely fantastic location in the old town! A bit different from rentals by an owner, this is a bit more no frills when it comes to the kitchen being stocked with spices, cooking oils, food staples, etc., and you get a limited #of dish & clothes washer pods. But we were fine with that, it's something to note if you're planning to stay longer and expect more of these items. Although there's some street noise from the restaurants below that can be heard in the front room, we had total quiet in the bedroom and slept comfortably. The location cannot be understated---there's so much to explore in the old town as well as walking up to the Roman ruins & museum (do not miss this!) and all around Lyon. We loved it at L'Authentique and would return again! Yes, the stairs are winding & steep but at 68 & 67 years, we were still ok carrying our suitcases up and down! There wasn't a wine tour or anything like that but I had to give a rating or couldn't move on, so ignore that, please! Thank you for a wonderful & perfect stay!

Three days in Lyon

This apartment was the perfect location for our first time in Lyon. The historic neighborhood had plenty of food options and things to see. Short walks over the many bridges brought us to the historic center with several museums and restaurants everywhere. The apartment was clean and stocked with anything we needed. We would return if back in the region.

Elegant get away

What a unique property....if you have ever wondered what lies behind the traboules of Vieux Lyon, look no further. Up a narrow winding staircase traditional for old Lyon is a magnificent 3rd floor apartment, with a modern elegant layout right in the heart of the old town. My husband and I came for the Fete des Lumieres and felt very much a part of the celebration being right in the center of it all. As long as you can climb the stairs, this is a gem of a place! The kitchen, the bedroom, and the heated towel rack all made for a comfortable experience even in the darkness of December. Would recommend highly!

Climb is worth it

Yes, the stairs are daunting, but once in the apartment, we found it charming, spacious, well-stocked, and convenient. The location, between the stop for the bus to Part--Dieu, and Vieux Lyon, was perfect. Check-in was especially welcoming.

Amazing and even better than photos

The unit was obviously just renovated. Everything is new, appliances (full size fridge) dishes, pots coffee equipment etc. If you like to cook while you’re on vacation, this is a dream. The apartment is large with beautiful windows. The post and beam with high ceilings were glorious. The shower is large and water pressure fantastic. The location in old town was perfect. Close to local transportation and all the restaurants etc. The only draw back was the winding stairs (52 of them) with no elevator. We are retirees and we managed so don’t let that discourage you. We felt pricing was very reasonable. Checking in was stress free and the information left pertaining to restaurants etc was used and appreciated.

A week in Lyon

The apartment is beautiful as is Vieux Lyon. However there should be a warning that there are 55 spiral steps to get there. Plus no Aircon so could get hot in summer. If you can deal with that you'll love it.

Amazing, sweet gem!

We had such a lovely stay here in Lyon. We so enjoyed this adorable apartment in the heart of old town Lyon. It was in the middle of so many sweet shops and yummy restaurants. We stayed here with our 10 month old who absolutely loved crawling around and exploring the space. It was very homey and cozy and we so enjoyed the whole trip! Thank you so much for the stay, we so enjoyed ourselves.

Wonderful modern apartment in old Lyon

Fabulous renovated one-bedroom unit has everything a couple could wish (plus a pull out sofa for more bed space!). Loved the modern look, the huge counter and storage space and lots of light. Highly recommend; a reminder you are in old Lyon with busy restaurants at your doorstep and a three-storey stair climb to ensure you burn those restaurant calories.

A gem in the food capital of France

This spacious, clean, well-equipped unit is truly a gem. The owner understands that all the fees and taxes can make a rental more expensive than a hotel, so pricing it right and having a superb space in a wonderful location is the answer. We are recommending this rental to our friends. A great place at a reasonable price! Thanks so much.

L’hôte était accueillante. L’appartement très propre et bien équipé. Sa situation dans le vieux Lyon était idéale.Seul problème: monter l’escalier étroit étroit de 53 marches avec des valises pour se rendre à l’appartement constitue un exercice difficile pour les personnes moins en forme.
