In all honesty, we originally looked at hotels, but traveling with kids, having more space was important and we stumbled on Alain's place. This apartment is a real gem in the heart of view Lyon. It;s perfectly situated behind Cathedrale St jean and only a short walk (or funicular ride) away from the basilica and Lyon's view point. Other major plus: the host, Alain, is amazingly responsive to questions about the area, tours, etc. 3 bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. It's hard not to eat out in Lyon, but the kitchen came in handy for breakfast ans snacks.... Small draw back of being in Vieux Lyon is the parking, certainly not the host's responsibility, but something to consider. Street and garage parking both get to be $ after a few days.... may want to consider metro and Uber.
