About this property

L'Authentique - au cœur de Lyon

The Authentique is located in the heart of the historic district of Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Its French-style ceilings as well as its exposed stones make this little cocoon an ideal place to stay in the capital of the Gauls, mixing old and contemporary, in a neat decor.

On the third floor without elevator, with a spiral staircase, it consists of a large room living room with fitted kitchen, a dining area and a very comfortable convertible sofa, a bedroom with a double bed, an office area and a dressing room, and an adjoining bathroom with WC and shower. The bedroom overlooks a quiet courtyard, away from the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood.

Its central location, between St Jean and St Paul station, will allow you to enjoy all the tourist attractions in the immediate vicinity of the building, as well as shops and restaurants and transport. You will be 5 minutes walk from the peninsula and its lively neighborhoods.

The Cocoonr Agency

The Authentique accommodation is managed by the Cocoonr Agency of Lyon and will be prepared for your arrival. You will be greeted on site by a member of our team who will introduce you to the apartment, how it works and give you the keys.

Quality sheets, towels, rugs and tea towels are provided and the beds are made upon arrival.

To start your stay, we offer you a few pods of Tassimo coffee and a few bags of tea, herbal tea and sugar.

Three days in Lyon
This apartment was the perfect location for our first time in Lyon. The historic neighborhood had plenty of food options and things to see. Short walks over the many bridges brought us to the historic center with several museums and restaurants everywhere. The apartment was clean and stocked with anything we needed. We would return if back in the region.

Elegant get away
What a unique property....if you have ever wondered what lies behind the traboules of Vieux Lyon, look no further. Up a narrow winding staircase traditional for old Lyon is a magnificent 3rd floor apartment, with a modern elegant layout right in the heart of the old town. My husband and I came for the Fete des Lumieres and felt very much a part of the celebration being right in the center of it all. As long as you can climb the stairs, this is a gem of a place! The kitchen, the bedroom, and the heated towel rack all made for a comfortable experience even in the darkness of December. Would recommend highly!

L'Authentique "Tolle Lage und wunderschönes Appartement. Leider gibt es keine Aircondition und die Hitze staute sich sehr im Appartement. Das Badezimmer mit Toilette lässt sich nur mit Schiebetür verschließen und alles ist dadurch sehr hellhörig. Küche und Wohnzimmereinrichtung haben uns sehr gut gefallen! Die Lage ist total zentral, natürlich ist in den Restaurants und Kneipen in der Straße abends noch lange (bis ca 23.00 Uhr) etwas los, zum Schlafen konnte man aber gut lüften."

L'Authentique Gemütlich eingerichtete und blitzsaubere Wohnung. Die Lage in der Altstadt ist toll, man kann fußläufig alles erkunden. Leider ist diese im Sommer nicht zu empfehlen, weil die Ventilatoren nicht ausreichen, um ein auszuhaltendes Klima herzustellen. Die Fenster können aufgrund der Lautstärke und des stark störenden Geruches des Restaurants unterhalb der Wohnung erst ab 01:00 Uhr nachts geöffnet werden. Die Kommunikation mit COCOONR ist bedrängend, mehrere Tage vor Ankunft wird 5mal nach der Ankunftszeit gefragt und dann diese nicht eingehalten. Vor Abreise wird mit Strafzahlung drohend verlangt, dass der Müll rausgebracht wird, alles abgewaschen und verräumt wird. Das kennen wir anders, schade! Dennoch ist die Wohnung zu empfehlen.

L'Authentique Well located in the old town, tidy and spacious apartment! Just note that the apartment is located on level 3 (access via an old spiral staircase - no lift) and no aircon. However, we found the fans were kept us sufficiently cool at night. Thanks for a great stay.

L'Authentique Beautiful apartment, fantastic location, very happy with the hosts and responsiveness, especially with setting our toddler up comfortably. While we managed OK as young people, some might struggle bringing large suitcases up the winding staircase. Very happy overall, strongly recommend this beautiful apartment.

L'Authentique "Apparemment vraiment sympa! À proximité de beaucoup d’activités ! Décoré avec goût et propre. Pour la saison ( très froid) un seul des radiateurs fonctionnait ce qui faisait peu pour la superficie de la pièce. J’ai contacté l’agence afin de savoir s’il était possible d’avoir un deuxième chauffage d’appoint, il est arrivé le soir à 19h (là perso qui nous l’a emmené a essayé d’entrer, hors nous étions dans l’appartement. J’aurais aimé être avertie et dépannée plus tôt puisque nous sommes partis dès les lendemain matin) Dommage d’avoir froid à ce point ( nous devons être frileux) mais en rentrant avoir chaud c’est important pour nous . Sinon rien à dire de négatif."

Climb is worth it
Yes, the stairs are daunting, but once in the apartment, we found it charming, spacious, well-stocked, and convenient. The location, between the stop for the bus to Part--Dieu, and Vieux Lyon, was perfect. Check-in was especially welcoming.

L'Authentique Top location and lovely flat. Great kitchen and open space, separated from bedroom. Great communication with agency. Clean and as per description. Airy and light flat as well with all the great Vieux Lyon features. Only caution is uneven stairs steps (from original building) up to 3rd floor so important if easy accessibility is a must. Would recommend.
