This is the perfect place from which to begin your explorations of Lyon. Right in the centre of town, the metro Bellecour is just around the corner. Although for most things you'll hardly need it, as everything is on your doorstep.
It's a beautiful nineteenth-century building and the flat is stylish and contemporary. And clean, too! The bed is great, and the shower is huge. The nespresso machine will help you get up in the morning.
Some reviewers have remarked on the noise but all the windows are double-glazed and we were never woken up by noise outside, even though it was the time of the Fete des lumieres and all the late night hijinx this involves! But do remember that the flat is in the centre of town, not in the middle of the countryside. Even with the windows open, it's not bad for a central city location.
Communication with Yannick is great, and check in was a breeze. He's a great host.
And don't miss the Marché alimentaire Saint-Antoine Célestins just nearby which has all the delightful produce you are ever likely to want!
