Location of the apartment is very good. Just a kilometre walk from the Lyon Part Dieu central station as well as you can take a direct bus. A small supermarket is right opposite the apartment building door. Lot of take away options in the neighbourhood but mostly Lebanese and Indian as it is a middle eastern and north African neighbourhood. It can get noisy at night but thankfully the apartment owner has installed motor blinds which entirely cut off the noise and you get a peaceful sleep. Overall, I would definitely choose this place again except during high summer as there is no air conditioning inside.
