Riva was a great host, he made sure he was always in contact and met us promptly on arrival. The apartment was perfectly situated for us and had a wonderful charm as it is located in a renovated 16/17 century building (the beautiful original stone staircase might not be ideal for the elderly or people with mobility issues but fine for everyone else). On the bank of the Saone you are close to the old part of the city, about 10 mins from the metro and near lots of shops, restaurants and the Beaux Arts Museum. It takes about 45 mins to get there from the airport and the journey via the Rhone Express and Metro is fairly straightforward helped by Riva's instructions. Much nicer than being in a really touristy location there were some great places nearby which all the locals frequented from bakeries to restaurants and bars you won't be stuck for options. The space was perfectly suited to our needs, was clean and comfortable and looked as if it had been recently renovated with a very smart bathroom, big bed and nice little kitchen area. There's also cable TV should you want it and WiFi. It's not the biggest apartment you'll find but we were in the city for 5 days and it suited us very well and would have no hesitation in returning or recommending Riva and his home to others. Lyon is a lovely city, the people are friendly the wine is fantastic and it feels laid back and welcoming. If you a looking for a short break its a good choice.
