Lyon Apartment review
There was something strange about this apartment. There was no closet space in the bedroom in which to hang out garments. All closets were locked with the exception with one with cubbies.
The only bath towels (thin) were placed on the beds - no hand towels or wash cloths. We contacted the manager, who got in touch with the owner and a bag of additional towels was in the apartment when we retuned. There was no soap. We finally went out and bought bath soap, extra toilet paper (just in case), and paper towels - as the one hand towel for three people was hanging in the bathroom.
The kitchen had a great gas cooktop and oven + a dishwasher! Unfortunately, there were no knives, save for two small paring knives and a serrated breadknife in a piece on which to cut a baguette. There were no measuring cups, nor an electric mixer, no dishtowels in the kitchen, hence the need for the paper towels.
Every room was on a different level, so we strategically placed chairs at the bottom of each "landing" so as not to trip or fall down the steps.
The beds had only a sheet, duvet, and two shams matching the duvet - not really conducive to a good night's sleep.
On the positive side, the apartment was immaculate, and was within walking distance to the important sights, as well as grocery and wine shops. Our street was quiet and not at all busy.
Next time, we'll look most carefully...
