LE LOFT ETHNIC "Beautifully decorated apartment with a lot of comfort and a great view
🙂 This is a beautifully decorated and very comfortable apartment with a magnificent view of the river. It has a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need, even for extensive cooking. The bathroom is very comfortable with a well-functioning rain shower. I was welcomed by a very friendly young woman who was just cleaning the apartment and also gave me the key and all explanations. A large bed can be found on a mezzanine that has a bit of a low ceiling, but otherwise very comfortable. I really liked the decoration of the apartment and its old wooden ceilings, very stylish indeed. The location is a bit out of the city centre, but the centre is in walking distance and the location on the river is special. There is a bar/disco directly next to the building of the apartment and I was concerned about noise during the night, but this wasn't the case at all. The apartment was very clean, felt safe and is also practically set up with a lot of storage space. There are some shops nearby, but for more extensive shopping one has to go to the city centre. Lyon is wonderful city with many superb restaurants.
🙁 As said, it is really a beautiful place but there are two issues of concern in terms of safety: there is a somewhat slippery and uneven staircase leading to the apartment, which may be awkward for those that are less mobile. And it is strange there is not some kind of (low?) railing on the mezzanine. The mezzanine is quite high and the stairs leading to it rather narrow with no railing either. It would be good to maybe consider some adjustments in terms of safety there."
