This is a great base for a long weekend in Lyon. The location was perfect for exploring the city on foot. It's close to some great restaurants and 'bouchons'. The apartment is on the 6th floor (fantastic view from the skylight). There is a lift to the 5th floor then a wide spiral staircase to the 6th. I was 8 months pregnant at the time and the stairs were fine. We also chose it because we could cook in the apartment: it has an oven and 2-ring hob. Marie-Anne and Paul live in the 5th floor and are very friendly and willing to help. Some observations which others might want to know about: very comfy bed; the eaves are quite low (fine for a short stay but maybe not long); there is only a cold water tap in the bathroom sink (great rain-head shower though); also, for the rare few people who have lots of airborne allergies like me, I was very allergic to something in the apartment but I couldn't figure out what. It wasn't dusty and I didn't see a cat so it was very puzzling.
