Honorê - Suite Trois Maries

  : The location was particularly fantastic. It is right in the heart of Vieux Lyon with very easy access to a myriad of historical sites, museums, restaurants (bouchon in the local sense) and interesting shops. Some places like the Gallo-Roman Museum or the Basilica of Notre-Dame, however, involve steep climbs. The hustle and bustle of an older urban life is right outside your window. The architecture of the whole area is historical and so the apartment will not be everyones cup of tea. The apartments wrap around an open central space that allows all the rooms to get natural light and a cross breeze. As with most older buildings in France (even some museums), there is no A/C. Usually, you dont need it, but we came during a historic heat wave and the first night was tough. We asked the owner for another fan, and they were very responsive. After the temperature dropped a couple of degrees the next night (and again the night after), we were able to sleep in reasonable comfort. The kitchen and bath are modern, done in basic IKEA style, so it's good for small spaces. There are plenty of electrical outlets and the sofa in the living room is long enough to sleep on even without unfolding it. There's a microwave, induction coil stove, dishwasher, frig, coffeemaker, even a toaster, but with so many places to eat just outside your door, we didnt use any of the equipment except for the coffee maker.
  : The one thing that we couldnt find were the eating utensils. Again, we werent preparing meals there, but a fruit knife would have been handy. For those with heavy or bulky luggage, the stairs may be challenging. We like the look of them, reminiscent of some old favorite movies, but in such buildings, there is no way to install an elevator. Fire escapes were also not part of the plans so many years ago when these buildings were built but they have stood the test of time. They have tons of atmosphere and thats the reason to stay in Vieux Lyon.

  : Very helpful and understanding. Arrived late due to circumstances and a slightly later checkout. Great communication, perfect location. Wish we could have stayed longer
  : The stairs, however it was advertised correctly. Not good for the elderly or people with mobility problems. They would not be able to access apartment. Would have been nice to have tea, coffee and sugar provided. Mattress was a little hard so didn't sleep fantastic

  : The location was excellent - right in the heart of the old town. This did mean it was quite noisy in the evening (bars/restaurants) and morning (street cleaners) but this was not a problem for us. The beds (one main bed, one sofa bed) were very comfortable and the arrangement suited our party of four (2 adults, 2 children). Communication with the owners was very easy, as was accessing the keys. The fans worked well and kept the apartment cool, despite the high temperatures. The wifi worked well.
  : As mentioned the location is quite noisy, which may not be to everyone's taste (but was fine for us). The TV does not work - there was a note to say not to move the aerial (which was a wire at the back) but the signal was so bad you could not reliably watch anything. This would normally not be a problem, except my daughter wanted to watch the Women's Euros final so we had to find an alternative solution for that elsewhere. I don't think there is much point to have a TV in the apartment if you cannot watch it. The apartment is quite small - perfectly fine for a short stay for a family of four but I think it you were two couples it would have been a bit cramped.

  : We love that the apartment is located in old Lyon surrounded by great restaurants and shops. The apartment is tastefully decorated with everything we need. The host is always available to answer questions promptly.
  : The walk-up can be an issue if you have large heavy luggages.

  : The location cannot be beat. It is in Old Lyon, close to restaurants, shops and sites to see. I chose it for this reason. The bed was comfortable and we lacked nothing for a two night stay. The bedroom is in the back and away from street noise. Kitchen and bath are adequate.
  : The apartment is tired and absolutely unadorned. Dark gray and white walls with dim lighting. One wall in the living-room is papered and rectangles of the same paper are framed and hung on an adjacent wall. There is a gray sleep sofa and a brown leather childs chair. Thats it for effort to make it visually appealing in any way. The bedside lights are too low for reading. The ceiling light has a dim bulb. No a/c but fortunately we didnt need it. I am not sure if its booking.com or the owner but there were too many messages. We had two days and once we were finally there, I found messages about when we were leaving annoying. We also had to pay 15 to check in early, which has never happened before. My husband adds that the internet is slow.

  : Brilliant location.
  : Conscious the outside temperatures were unusually high, it influenced the heat in the apartment.
