We loved the location, right in the heart of Old Town Lyon, which is what we wanted. And yet, walk a few blocks over the Saône towards the Rhône and you are in the heart of walking district, the Rue Republique, shopping, etc. We were only there one full day so tried to see as much as we could. Cécile was very helpful, provided us with a lot of extras for our morning petit dejeuner, greatly appreciated! It is an old building with a lot of character, overlooking the Place de Bailene, so know that there are stairs, no elevator, but that is normal for old town. Perfect for us!
