Initially we felt we were a little far from the city center, but once we got our bearings, the nearby tram or subway stops made easy work of getting around Lyon. A city bike station is just around the corner, adding yet another easy way to get around. The apartment location was perfectly situated in a quiet neighborhood, away from the noise of downtown. The apartment itself is amazing, even moreso once you learn that the hosts did all the work themselves to renovate the building. They put in so much thought about what guests want and need--the space was perfect and the interior design was modern and clean. The space is very eco-conscious, but the air conditioning unit was so appreciated in a country that in general doesn't care for it. Having a washing machine available was another huge bonus! The apartment is simply a gem and the hosts were kind, generous, and super responsive.
