“We stayed almost a week in Aurélie’s apartment and we enjoyed every moment. We leave with our best recommendations if you’re in for a swap with Vieux Lyon. Aurélie was very helpful in every way. We would love to come back another time.”

** Ideally I'm looking to swap this place with anything in New York or London **
You'll stay on the 3rd floor (there's a lift) of a magnificent building in the prettiest street of the Renaissance area. The place is 53 m2 (570 sqft), with windows overlooking private courtyards, a fully equipped kitchen, 1 separate bedroom and 1 large living room.
The flat has been wonderfully renovated before I arrived and I've furnished and decorated it to make it my own. It has everything you need: washing machine, dishwasher, excellent heating, a portable AC unit, good Wi-Fi, cable TV + Netflix & Amazon Prime, desk and printer (for home office workers) and a large bathroom with a bath tub. As all the windows all look onto courtyards it's particularly quiet.
The flat really is ideally located. You'll be in the historical part of Lyon, ready to enjoy the medieval architecture and bustling life especially on week-ends. There are tons of restaurants and shops and you only need 10 min to cross the river and be in Bellecour, i.e the heart of the city (also a major transport hub). One of the best wine merchants is round the corner and there's a market by the river (5-min walk) open every morning for fresh produce. You'll be in for a typical French experience!
As a destination, Lyon is getting more and more popular, and for good reason: it's got a rich history dating back to the Roman empire, the architecture is amazing, it's the food capital of France (way ahead of Paris), Burgundy and its wonderful wineyards are 1h away, Switzerland and Italy a few hours away too, you can do a day trip and go skiing in the Alps or swimming in some beautiful lake or even going down to Marseille (1h30) or up to Paris (2h). I wouldn't leave this place for the world, but do enjoy discovering new ones!

“Aurélie was a great host and provided us with an excellent base to explore Lyon. The small flat has everything required and has a lot of historical character. I am sure you will appreciate the location and convenience to transport, restaurants and sights.”
“We had an enjoyable 4 night stay at Aurélie's apartment in August. It's in a great location in the historic district (Old Lyon), so perfect for sight-seeing and dining out. Access to the apartment was via a few stairs then a lift and the apartment itself was cosy. Communication with Aurélie was excellent and she also arranged an airport pickup for us, which was most appreciated. ”
“Aurelie's place is right in the middle of the old part of Lyon and a great base for exploration. For all foodies, this is a dream as you have everything from small holes in the wall to Michelin starred restaurants in a 5min walk. The place is a nice, good sized one bedroom which due to the fact that it faces the inner courtyard is actually very quiet for where it is. We had a car and there were various options for off street parking within 5min from the apartment. Choquette, the cat was very friendly and well behaved. Thank you for the great experience. ”
“Oh my, we loved this place (we only stayed a week, but wish we could have stayed two). Aurelie's description is completely accurate - it's in the best part of Lyon, and there are two Michelin-starred restaurants within a few paces of the front door. Her home is charming, fully equipped, and beautifully quiet. And if you've never been to Lyon, you should go - gorgeous old buildings, history going back to the Roman times, and amazing food and wine. Transportation within the city is also very comprehensive - no need for a car. We ended our car rental agreement when we started our stay, and just picked up another car on the way out. Communicating with Aurelie is also a pleasure - she's a professional translator, and has a great sense of humour.”
“The ideal guest! Completely responsible and very accommodating.”
