So we are now in Lyon, France. Our airbnb is in a 17th century building. I really didn't realize it would be like this when I booked it.
When we came, the entrance there was this massive door. The guy who owns it let us in and showed the way to the apartment. We went past some courtyard where people used to got their water from a well. There was an area that led to a cellar. We went up an an elevator down a hall to another door and finally to the apartment. It has a stone floor and all these beams of wood.
There is a a narrow spiral staircase that leads up to the bedrooms. One bed is a loft with a window with a beautiful view of the river. The other bedroom is across this glass walkway that looks below to the first floor.
After the guy left, we sat there kind of stunned, looking around. Not what we expected. There are skylights. The windows in the living room look into the sort of courtyard that looks
Coming in the door feels like coming into a dungeon. You have to actually use four keys and a code to get to your floor on the elevator. It's like you are entering the CIA headquarters.
To think people lived here 300 years ago. I'm sure their ghosts haunt the halls.
