La Suite Sépia - Superbe appartement Vieux Lyon

We loved our stay for 3 nights. The property was clean and comfortable. Hosts were responsive and helpful. For our type of travel, the location could not have been more perfect right in the heart of the old town. The stairs are noted several times, so we knew what to expect and enjoyed the extra bit of exercise at the start and end after each day of adventuring. Thank you and we would stay again for sure!

It was as advertised, no complaints.

Overall, the experience at this tiny apartment would have been better had the host communicated properly. For the week leading up to the stay, the host didn't answer at all. E x p edia and Vee Arr Bee Oh both were unable to reach the host and it caused a lot of stress leading up to this trip. We had to pay a five hundred euro deposit in addition to the rental charges, which both agencies said they're unable to refund. Finally, 18 hours before check in, we received the check in info. On arrival, the tiny shower was completely clogged and full of black mold. If you don't turn off the shower within a minute of using it, it will overflow onto the bathroom floor. I contacted the host and they never replied about this issue. I had to get antibiotics for a toe infection after showering here for three days in the dirt and grime. The washing machine smelled so bad. I attempted twice to thoroughly clean it. Our clothes still smell horrible even after washing many times at our next stop. The apartment was very cold, despite turning up the heaters. This is a micro apartment - it is enough space for a few days, but any longer wouldn't be feasible. It is well decorated, however many little things are broken and not repaired. Overall, not a good experience and do not recommend at all.

The good: comfortable bed, nice kitchen The bad: horrible location up 145 steps. VERY small bedroom and bathroom. Heavy drapes on windows...if you open them there is no privacy as kids from nearby school go up and down the stairs, if you leave them closed you feel like you are living in a cave. Would not recommend for anyone over 30.
