this is a well equipped and well situated apartment. the hotel de ville is literally around the corner and both the rhone and saone rivers are accessible within a few minutes' walk. the place is proximate to eating establishments, grocery stores, metro stop, etc...there is even a fantastic co-working space on the same street (sofffa slow cafe) which offers hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly rates. though the apartment is on a very quiet central courtyard, its walls are thin enough that you'll sometimes hear door closing and footsteps (but not voices). i'm a sucker for good bathrooms, and this one is great. also, jerome is a welcoming and especially generous host.
