Valérie’s apartment is great! It’s in very non-touristy neighborhood (Croix-Rousse), yet still well within reach of all the things you’ll want to do/see in the city. The apartment is fully equipped with a great kitchen, washing machine, dishwasher, and balcony. What more could you want?
Just a note for those unfamiliar with Lyon as we were: La Croix-Rousse is atop a major hill and you will need to plan your transportation accordingly. I would find that helpful to know since Google Maps doesn’t show topography.
