Overall we had a great stay at MHL. Location was very convenient to all the attractions of Lyon and to the metro system. The room was clean and well decorated. The host communicated with us multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed. But there was some things that were not exactly as expected. I will admit this was our first trip to Europe, so some of the items listed below may be typical there and we were just unaware.
First, there was a washing machine, but no working dryer. The listing does not specifically list a dryer, but there was one there (broken). This forced an unplanned trip to a local laundromat. Next, while we were pleasantly surprised to find two bathrooms (one full and one half (shower & sink)) both only had a hand held shower head on a hose. And both bathrooms had such low ceilings, we had to crouch over to shower. Lastly, there were issues with the lock on the door to the room. After discussing with the host, it was supposed to automatically lock when it closed, but this wasn't happening. We easily got past this by using the key to lock the deadbolt from inside, but the host did not want us to do that as if we mistakenly left the key in the lock on the inside and left the room, they would have to break the window to get in. He came at one point and said it was fixed, but it was not so we continued to use the deadbolt. Not a huge issue for us, just not as expected.
