Great location - 2min downhill to Hotel de Ville Metro. And another nearby uphill. Can walk in all directions for 30min easily (even in the heat) and beyond that suggest metro/bus. So old Lyon east to walk to, down to Bellecour and over into the 3rd Arr area. We visited in August so lots of things were closed in the 3rd Arr, but plenty to see and enjoy - open in the island area (2nd Arr) and old Lyon. Nice and quiet at nighttime even though heaps of eateries wishing 10-30seconds of front door.
Highly recommend. Nice apartment too. Kitchen and bathroom good, and washing machine :) fan provided which is really great in summer heat :)
Checkin was smooth and easy which is great when you’re a tourist with heavy bags and don’t speak French - and everything is in English :)
