The apartment is beautiful and in a great location. We took a taxi from Gare Part Dieu and it was inexpensive and easy. You can also take the streetcar for a couple euro. It was nice being in a quiet area but there was no shortage of café's and stores right around the corner. Also, being right on the river, this apartment is a short walk from la presqu'ile and bellacour and the metro. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
