The apartment is ideally located to explore all the sights of Lyon. Our host met us for check-in and was very helpful in explaining the details of his place. There is excellent shopping and a wide variety of restaurants and bars close by. It is located on a street that is closed to traffic, with several restaurants and stores at street level. Since the apartment is located on the 4th floor of the building, noise was generally not a problem, although you may hear cleaning and delivery vehicles early in the morning. There is secure access to the building and a lift. The apartment is as charming in person as it is in the photos, excellently appointed, very clean, and with good Wi-Fi service. The bathroom is modern and up to date, with separate water closet. I highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Lyon. A special bonus of the apartment is the feel of old world charm but modern conveniences.
