Really underestimated the location, was pleasantly surprised! Valmy is a great location if you are a student or visiting the colleges, Bus C6 will take you straight there in ~20 minutes and pick up at Tissot Bus Stop, end of the street. Valmy metro is a few minutes walk and has Monoprix grocery store just next to it. Take the D line metro/connect to anywhere in the city! So convenient, fans provided, has everything you need to make a great stay and spend more time seeing the city! Just a few minutes on the metro to Vieux Lyon and historic sites. Highly recommend for traveling alone. Safe and small.
