Great location in the centre with all the bustle around the building but set in a quiet courtyard well away from the noise. Perfect. Metro was 2/3 minutes walk away. Jean-Charles was extremely helpful. The suite was spacious and comfortable and there was a modern well equipped kitchen, although I would have much preferred a sofa in the lounge area rather than a single bed with cushions. Overall it was ideal for a short stay to see Lyon and I would go back.

If I had criticisms or suggestions for improvement then some kitchen basics like salt and pepper etc would be helpful as would a sharp knife bigger than the tiny one supplied. Some privacy is required in the flat without having to close all the curtains

The Vendome apartment was just as described. It is elegant and very well furnished. The bedroom is large and the sitting/kitchen area suited our needs perfectly. The heaters are very effective and we found the apartment warm and comfortable throughout our stay. The bed and the single bed in the sitting area are both very comfortable. The location is excellent - with the Metro at Foch just 2 minutes walk away, but if you want to walk you can also walk to e.g. Bellecour and Vieux Lyon, strolling across some of the many bridges. There are restaurants and cafes very near to the apartment but the apartment is situated in a very quite courtyard so we slept very well. Julie met us on arrival to give us our keys and to welcome us to Lyon. She provided lots of useful information. She also checked, during our visit (5 nights) that everything was fine for us. She even allowed us to check out a little late and this enabled us to discover an excellent brunch café in Croix Rousse and to not be too early for our late afternoon flight back to the UK.

Nothing. It was all excellent.

My husband and I were extremely impressed with both the apartment and the overall service. Our apartment is at the ground floor, we love how the main door is cleverly camouflaged using a series of lush planters, creating both privacy and a pleasing nature aesthetic.The interior is nicely decorated, cosy and clean. Bed is comfy with spacious built-in wardrobe to accommodate our clothes and stuffs. The kitchenette is well-equipped with all the essentials: induction stove, fridge, dish washer, washing machine, cutleries and utensils, microwave, coffee maker and electric kettle etc., we could prepare meals like we were at home. Bathroom is well ventilated with heater water. Everything is clean, functional, and thoughtfully arranged, It really felt like a home away from home. The location couldn’t have been better – right in the heart of the city! The Foch station is just a short walk away, getting around Lyon is a breeze. Nearby is the Fontaine de la Place du Maréchal Lyautey, a charming sculpture fountain surrounded by pretty lush of flower. There are also many good cafes, restaurants, shops around. The management had recommended us a list of cafes and restaurants, we managed to try some and they were all really good: 1. Café de Genève–Opens at 6:30am. Serves nice meals, good for a drink or coffee 2.Au Petit Vatel–Nice lyonnaise food and dessert (for take-away only) 3. Miette–beautiful baguette, sandwiches and dessert, yummy! 4.Casino & Carrefour-- wide range of groceries, fresh veggie and fruits Overall, we highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a comfortable stay in a central location with excellent amenities and service. Cheers A couple from Singapore :)

Nothing actually

So a lot of positives for this stay: + kind and accommodating hosts + location is excellent, just 2 minute walk from A line metro, clean and safe neighbourhood + apartments in the inner court of a quiet living complex with a gardeny feel to it + good and varied choice of restaurants nearby + apartment had tasteful decor and furniture and bath and electronic appliances looked new + nicolas wine store directly across hotel entry Really have nothing negative to say about our stay here and just wanted to give Julie a big shout-out for making our stay as pleasant as possible :)

Excellent location, self-contained apartments off an internal courtyard. Good access to local shops etc. The upstairs apartment (Vendome) is well furnished, good facilities. In both apartments the beds are really comfortable! Close to a metro station (Foch). Parking at the LPA Morand was quite expensive but very convenient and close.

The downstairs apartment (Le Seze) isn’t a great layout, with the outside door opening onto the bedroom area, steps down into the bathroom, and everything a bit squashed in. Still works ok though.

Property was in a great location. Very near the metro stop Foch. Received lots of local recommendations from the host. There was a daily cleaning service available. Excellent response and help from the hotel team and clear check in and out instructions. Great air con

The kitchen has no basic ingredients e.g milk,salt,pepper,oil so have to buy all from near by shop (1 min away) No outside dinning space in shared court yard

I travel quite a bit and this was the best place I have ever stayed. Perfect room decor and clever use of space. You want to look at everything as if in a museum, but at the same time it is very cozy and has everything you need for a stay. Julia was always in touch and shared useful information. The apartment is located on a busy street, but hidden behind an incredibly quiet courtyard.

Everything was good

The room was quite spacious, with a more than adequate kitchen and bathroom. We did have some issues with the stove, but they immediately sent a mechanic to fix it. Afterwards it worked like a charm. The hosts were really friendly, polite, helpful and pleasant to talk to. They even left a big fan as a way to help deal with the heat - and it worked out wonderfully. You can't find anything better!

Nothing.

Great location right next to the Metro in a nice area with lots of cafes and shops. The host was really friendly accommodating all my requests from the different time of check-in to schedule of room service. They also send me special information on all the different bars, cafes, restaurants and shops nearby.

You could go to a cookie-cutter hotel, or you could go to a stylish, individually decorated apartment with a helpful host who is full of suggestions on what to do and best places to eat- I will take the latter anytime. Thanks too to Paula.

Inevitably, in an old building there will be a few inconveniences, but these are more than compensated for by the charm of the surroundings. Watch out if you are tall!
