Just the fact that it’s pretty dark. If I knew the ac was not a big deal to have and it’s not that hot I would have booked another place .

Mostly good things , location is great , it’s clean and it’s well designed . Downsides: the apartment is pretty dark and doesn’t get any lights unlike the pictures that shows a bright place. Since it’s dark and doesn’t get any sunlight it doesn’t get hot and you really don’t need an AC we did it even turn it on once. It’s on the first floor which not having an elevator is not a big deal but the stairs are pretty narrow so you need to be extra careful not to slip or fall down( it’s also dark in the hallways) . I don’t recommend for people with disability .

real warm inside with no windows in one of the rooms and couldn't find the remote to the air con, although may just be for heating.

very clean and modern

It took time to achieve a response to enquiries about how to leave the keys on departure. Everything else worked like clockwork.

In the very evocative old part of the city, but at the far end where human traffic was minimal. The city's integrated transport system is superb: clean, graffiti-free, punctual and efficient. Abundant restaurants and places of interest. The Maison Debourg is in a very traditional building with unique character. Facilities are very good: the bathroom, bedroom and kitchen area are all well pointed and of impressive dimensions - for a couple at least.

We couldn’t get the TV to work despite the instructions. We are tennis fans and would have liked to watch some of the French Open.

Location, clean and quiet.

The shower base overflowed partly due to design and mostly due to a blocked drain. This was quickly rectified by the owner calling in a plumber. The 'terrace/balcony/overlooking courtyard' area was unattractive and smelt of others' cigarettes. **Be aware there are 77 steps up a spiral staircase to get to the apartment.

Fabulous location in Lyon for walking within Vieux Lyon and to the peninsula/central city, rivers, markets, Croix Rousse, Roman amphitheatre, cathedral, bike hire, museums, art gallery.... Nicely decorated spacious apartment for 2-4 people. Well equipped. Almost next door to a small store supplying fruit, veg, basic goods.

4 flights of stairs with heavy suitcases!

We enjoyed staying in a building with such historical significance. Also the location was terrific for exploring. Had everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed.

Forth floor without elevator - but this we knew... ;) The air shafts were a bit noisy, and it was a bit chilly, but we resisted using AC...good blankets though! :)

Nice apartment with a of lot care about the details and art. Excellent location.

That because smoking is allowed in the building’s courtyard, the whole apartment often smells of smoke because the courtyards get much of a through flow. The smell got a lot better once we opened the shutter between the courtyards on the balcony, which I highly recommend!

Loved the location and the building! The shower was lovely and it was really helpful to have a washing machine!

There was a strong smell of stale cigarettes both inside and out.

Historic character, great location, excellent facilities.

Situated above a courtyard used by smokers

Excellent location in a historic building.

There was a lot of rain the first day we were there, and the ceiling leaked. Luckily, we were there and were able to put some pots under the drips. The hair dryer wasn’t working (only cold air). Communication with the owner was slow and not very responsive when I raised some questions prior to my stay, and also with the leaks. Apparently there was a problem with her mobile, and it didn’t really affect our stay but made me a little anxious.

Lovely cost atmosphere. Nicely decorated. Character. Comfortable bed.

Nothing!!!

Absolutely fabulous apartment with character, fantastic central location, easy arrangement for access with the host and collection of keys. We really enjoyed spending our time there. It was amazing and we would love to come again. The steps added to the character. Thank you Mme de Bernardi.

Lots of stairs up- I think 4 flights of a circular staircase which was challenging with suitcases! Nice apartment but not the biggest, has all the cooking stuff, but we decided it was nicer to go out rather than eat in.

Great location to explore the city- easy to walk everywhere from it! Great bakery just a few minutes down the road for breakfast bits too. Had everything you need in the kitchen area. Some tea and basics already there which was helpful. Comfy sofa and TV area.

Very nice apartment in the Old Town of Lyon. Host left clear instructions on how to enter building. The apartment was a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but it worked for the three of us. Bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The host left interesting information on the history of the building. The circular staircase up four flights was a little harder than I thought it would be, but it's so historic that we didn't mind. Excellent location - fascinating to walk around the neighbourhood

There was no cover on either of the duvets, no instructions for the coffee machine, and no response when we messaged thru the app for additional towels on Monday. We finally reached the host via WhatsApp on Friday and she said the cleaners would bring more towels on Sat, but when we left on Sunday no towels had arrived. The shower is lovely, but makes a small puddle at the base of the shower a while after someone showers.

Very comfortable, clean and quiet. Close to everything in the old city.

Oh the stairs after a long day, although i did take a few photos because they are very beautiful architecture. :)

Amazing building, great location. Good comms with owner, altho we didn't meet.

Ok, because of the historic building no elevator so you need to lug cases to the 4th floor, well worth it though.

Great historic building with great facilities, clean comfortable with plenty of room. Close to everything, restaurants, markets, sightseeing. Loved the place.

We had such a wonderful time. The location in the heart of old town was excellent. Very close to a bus stop, passing a few tasty patisseries on the way if you need to grab anything in the morning. Many restaurants around, though you have plenty of choices in other parts of the city as well, easily accessible on foot or by transit. The historic building was beautiful, and the rooms very lovely. We had everything we needed. I would not hesitate to stay again. Thank you for your hospitality.

Excellent location. The historical building gives a great sense of Lyon and its past, while the apartment is modern, comfortable and clean.

There is a slight pooling of water in the bathroom, but it doesn't affect the accommodation experience at all.

The room details are very thoughtful, including the hand grinder coffee machine, the placement of hooks, and the number of towels. These details reflect the host's special desire for guests to have a comfortable stay.
