The location is what makes this a great place above all else. You're only 100 metres from place bellecour and walking distance from the old city and all the amazing restaurants that go with it. Really close to one of the metro stops, getting there from the airport was a breeze.
There are a lot of steps to climb, but they're not steep and there's a good hand rail to hang on to.
If I ever make it back to Lyon I'll be checking if Boris' apartment is available.
