Near bakeries and shops. 50 min walk from train station, less than 20 min walk to old Lyon and fun bars. Didn't use transit, just walked everywhere so it's possible for you. Lots of stairs, not an issue just take breaks often. Room is small, though adequate. Bed is firm and comfortable (if you like firm). Room is away from host. Hot water heater and good restaurant recommendations. Host was not very involved (we liked that). 5 stars bc everything was as expected. This is a good central starting point to explore Lyon.
