QUAI DE SAÔNE - FOURVIERE VIEW
What a beautiful apartment. The furnishings and artwork are charming and it has everything we needed. With views across the river to Fouviere, which is lit up at night, it was wonderful. The location is perfect for visiting the old town and an Uber gets you to the main station for daytrips. It's quiet for sleeping yet there are bars downstairs. An excellent supermarket 3 minutes away for all your needs. We didn't meet Emmanuel but he was quick to respond to queries.

View of Place des Terreaux
This place was amazing! It fit our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids) perfectly. The location was spot on, walkable to everything, and the flat was beautiful! Welll maintained and well equipped! Catherine and her husband were extremely friendly and went out of their way to make sure we felt at home. Super easy check in/out as well. I would highly recommend!! I hope we can come back some day!

Lyon / Presqu'île / Bellecour
What a lovely apartment and what a fantastic location, right in the heart of Presqu'ile/Belcour - which means easy walking distance to eveything. As for our host Yannick - a true gentleman and nothing was too much trouble for him ! When we return to Lyon we won't bother looking around, we will simply hope that Yannick's apartment is available. Merci Beaucoup Yannick.

Bright loft in Croix-Rousse
Great place to stay! Very comfortable and well appointed.

Canopee - T2 - Hôtel de Ville - Presqu'île
Benoit's place was as described. Very clean, close to everything and with all amenities. I highly recommend it. Benoit was also very flexible on departure and arrival times, which was much appreciated.

Large luxury designer duplex with parking and AC
The Canut loft has the perfect balance of historic charm and authenticity combined with modern upgrades and amenities. Sandrine was so wonderful before, during and after my stay. Never too engaged. But always full of ideas and information. If you can believe it, the apartment is more beautiful than the photos. And they have great accent lighting installed to help the stonework and fantastic custom paintwork sing.
Large prestigious apartment on the Presqu'île
Great stay in Lyon. Alain is a very friendly host and provided welcome chocolate and great local recommendations. The kitchen has everything you need if you choose to self cater, and there are many nearby specialty food shops and a very nice market along the river. Lyon is very walkable and has an interesting history. The apartment is full of art and music. Both the apartment and Lyon are highly recommended!

Cosy & design flat. City Center. View Rhône.
The space had everything we needed. We appreciated the flexible check in time. It was near a lot of restaurants. The views were beautiful but it was loud due to the busy street right outside. The bed was comfortable and the mini washer was convenient. The tower fan was needed as it was getting hot, glad it was provided. Definitely a workout going up and down we since we had previous knowledge of it we did not find this an issue.
