This is a really cool apartment in a great location in Lyon. We walked to the Basilica and from there to the old town (all downhill) and then caught the funicular back to the apartment. There is a boulangerie just across the square and a great little restaurant close-by (Marmaille). We were met on arrival by Alexandre's father who was very helpful and friendly and kept us a parking space on the street around the corner. Overall, a great place to base yourself if you want to visit Lyon.
