Excellent location a ten minute walk across the river to the old town, the apartment has a spacious master bedroom and a smaller double off the living area. Steep stairs but there is a lift. Each room has ensuite shower room but wc is shared, a slightly unusual layout but the plus of being in an older style building is the space and the lovely traditional French type windows. A bit of noise at night from the nearby bars and from morning rush hour traffic but you expect that if you want to be central. We had a great stay, didn't know what Lyon would be like but favourably impressed.
