We absolutely loved our 1-week stay here. The apartment is chic, pleasantly comforting, and well-equipped (tv, wifi, kitchen, bathroom, etc. all work exceptionally well). The loft was relatively spacious (considering that it is a loft) and the bed quite comfortable. While the apartment is located on the 4th floor, the climb is made less tedious by the old spiral stone staircase. The building is extremely central and well-situated, lying a few blocks south of the busier central streets in Vieux Lyon, 1 block to a metro station, and an 8-min walk over the bridge to Place Bellecour. As such, it is extremely convenient for exploring Vieux Lyon and Presqu'île on foot, and well connected for venturing to other parts of Lyon. Additionally, Blandine, the hostess, is extremely gracious and accommodating. Overall, we highly recommend this gem to anyone wishing to embrace the vibrance and romance of Vieux Lyon.

The only drawbacks to the apartment were that there was not so much air circulation to the loft, so it could stay 5˚C hotter than the rest of the apartment (probably very useful in winter, but not ideal in summer), and that the pedestrian street noise could occasionally be loud/annoying when the windows were open (note that the apartment was impressively quiet when windows were closed).
