Large apartment in the Bellecombe district. Near Part Dieu train station.

Everything we needed, host provided info and advice promptly.

The fixtures and fittings were very good but the flat was dark. It was basically a converted garage and there was little natural light and we could not see out of the windows. The third bedroom was not attached to the other rooms but off another part of the garage.

We never found the washer, dryer. Wi-fi code did not work. Good location to train station but long walk to city center. Accommodation was clean and nice updated bathrooms.

We stayed 3 nights. Entry is through the garage. We appreciated having free parking for our rental car, but it was a very tight squeeze for our Renault SUV. We barely had room to get through the door once the car was parked inside. Main unit has one bedroom w/queen bed w/attached bathroom with walk in shower and toilet, plus a second bedroom w/two twin beds w/attached bathroom with walk in shower and toilet. Third bedroom is accessed via separate door in garage and it's like a mini apartment with a bedroom w/queen bed and attached bathroom w/walk in shower and toilet, no windows in this unit, no AC, an electric oscillating fan was provided. The main unit with 2 bedrooms has AC in the living room and bedroom w/queen bed, but it is quite loud when running. Unit is street level, and windows have security bars, and a sidewalk runs outside right next to unit. Wifi instructions given in check-in procedures were incorrect. I messaged host, and it took a while for a response. Wifi info is located on bottom side of the wifi router in the living room. Overall, the unit felt a bit neglected and dingy: floors, bathrooms and walls need a good scrubbing. We did not cook in the small kitchen, we only used the coffee pot. I have no idea how you access the laundry in the apartment building, we didn't try. It's a good 20 to 25 minute walk to Old Town. Only 1 key to enter each entry door: if your group splits off to do separate things that could be an issue.

The property is as advertised, but several things did not work. The kitchen sink did not drain. The dryer does not dry. One of the sets of keys did not open the door to the apartment (this was a problem for us since we were a group of 6).There was no accurate welcome information provided upon arrival. Instead, I had to send messages back and forth with the owner for the correct WIFI info and how to access the laundry. These things should be provided when we arrive.The apartment was not clean when we arrived. Surfaces were dusty and dirty. The plates and bowls were very dusty. The bathrooms were not clean.

The apartment is large, clean and well furnished. Great neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay.

The apartment is easy to reach from the nearby metro station. The check-in directions were clear and very helpful, but it took some searching to find the third bedroom (separate from the rest of the apartment). I was disappointed to find out upon arrival that the laundry machine is not within the apartment. Overall, our stay was lovely and there was plenty of room for our party of 7. The beds are comfortable, the neighborhood is safe, and the apartment is clean and spacious. If you are traveling by car, the private garage would be a huge benefit.
