This AirBnB is probably one of our favorites if not most favorite place we've stayed in! Very interesting BnB with many, many nice touches. The pictures really don't capture the fun quirks of this home.
We're a family of five, with school aged children ages 8, 11, and 14. This was a perfect place for our family to stay. The bedroom was great for the kids, and with the open window at night, we stayed very comfortable during a hot spell in Lyon. (Being on the ground floor helped as well and there was a small A/C unit just in case it got too warm.)
I was AMAZED at our location. We arrive by train and took a taxi upon arrival. However, it's just as easy to take the metros and funicular. We did this when we left and we were able to get to our departing time with no troubles.
The funicular is a very short--not more than 5 - 10 minute walk--which will take you to the roman ruins or to the old city where there are a lot of restaurants, shops, and many other things to do. You can also depart to the metro to explore other parts of the city.
After staying at Alexandre's place, my only regret is not staying for several more days!
