Philippe's place is right in the heart of Lyon. What an amazing location! We were able to walk to many places directly and on days when it was rainy or we were traveling far away there is a Metro stop two blocks from the apartment. The apartment is in a beautful historic building across the street from the Rhone River. It is on the top floor of the building which made it a bit hot during the day even with the windows open. But the beds are in a loft that is air conditioned so sleeping was very comfortable. The apartment was very clean, had reliable wifi and Philippe had the refrigeratoe stocked with a few items (including a bottle of champagne!) when we arrived.
