A Renaissance building in the heart of the city

Equipped with antique and modern furnishings.
TV wild screen Wi-Fi, DVD, an adjustable table, a desk, all done with taste.
A new Sofa bed which was specially chosen for its easy use, its comfortable bedding in 140 x 190cm and its modern design in leather. Also a mezzanine like in boat, with a futon and a mattress for 2 peoples.
The kitchenette is filled with various comforts : refrigerator, vitroceramic burners, dish-washer, oven, micro-wave, electric coffee maker, Nespresso coffee machine, toaster, and a water heater.
Even if you don't intend to do much cooking, you can certainly appreciate these advantages.
In the bathroom you’ll find our efforts for your well-being. In addition to the shower cabin and the sink, you’ll find a towel dryer, a washing machine with dryer, a hair-dryer and even an iron.
For stays with children, we have an extra bed installed in a cabin mezzanine which is like being in a boat cabin.
We have also a baby bed, very comfortable and recent model, and cute.

Short stay in Lyon with my sister
This is a great flat in a brilliant location. The apartment has everything one could need and the owners were very helpful when I needed some help on my first night there. Many thanks to Brigitte and Steve.

The location is amazing and we loved the whole stay. Steve responded to questions very quickly, was there within minutes after we arrived and gave us a really good referral for the taxi service.

A jewel in Vieux Lyon...
The photos do not do justice to this beautifully-appointed apartment, it is truly a gem. Hidden in a corner of a centrally-located square in Vieux Lyon, the apartment is wonderfully clean and comfortable with strong WiFi, an excellent TV, and all one needs for a very pleasant stay. The apartment is surrounded by bustling streets of restaurants and shops but is quiet and calm. It is perfectly placed for seeing all the sights of Lyon, both old and new. Stephen responded quickly to my emails and questions, and made check-in simple for me. I thoroughly recommend the apartment and hope I have another opportunity to stay there in the future.

Perfect Location for our World Cup!
My 9 year old daughter plays for a Brooklyn soccer club called Lyon so we knew that we had to come for the Women’s World Cup. I booked the apartment on the basis of the reviews and it’s location. It was absolutely perfect for this family of four. The location was perfect, the apartment met our needs and of course it was wonderful to experience such an historical setting. I should mention too that we were there during some very hot weather. While our friends in other apartments complained about the heat, we had no such concerns. The old stone and the few fans kept it much cooler than a had expected. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Lovely apartment in central area
We were met by Steve at the arranged time and had a quick rundown on facilities. The apartment is in the old town, nice and central. Kids loved the cabin bed, one of the highlights of the holiday. Would happily stay again if in Lyon 😁

Hard to beat the location!
My husband, our 17 year old son and I had a fabulous stay Brigitte and Steve's apartment! The space was perfectly equipped and the washer/dryer was such a bonus as this was the first stop on a 15 day holiday. The Vieux Lyon location was supreme with a charming square just outside the door! Almost everything we wanted to see and do was within walking distance. Although timing did not allow us to actually meet Brigitte and Steve, they checked in on us periodically, arranged our airport taxi and went over and above to be warm and accommodating. Highly recommend both the apartment and these owners!!!
