The apartment is perfectly located for a visit to Lyon. The street is really an extension of Rue Saint Jean, the main street of the Vieux Town. It is a great place to be around both before and after the tourists have left for the day. There are plenty of restaurants in the street just outside the door leading into the apartments and the food markets of Rue Saint Antoine are just across the river, 10 minutes away. It is 10-15 minutes from the main plazas in the Presqu’ile (Place Bellcour and Place de la Terreaux) but you do not need to leave the Vieux Town. Don’t miss the terrific Museum of Fine Arts though.

The apartment itself is very well-appointed and Soued has made great use of what is a relatively small space. We are an older couple and experienced travellers and we found everything tastefully done. You should note that there is no lift in this 15th C building. The apartment is on the 4th floor and there are 84 spiral stairs to the apartment which is part of its charm of course, but they could be a challenge. In our case, we were met by Soued’s husband Jean, who carried our heavy bags for us.

Jean speaks excellent English and has an obvious great love for the city and its architecture. He gave us some great recommendations for restaurants, places to visit and explained about the traboules and courtyards and how and when to access them. Jean's recommendations for the best food places and bars was spot on.

Jean was great and while we did not meet Soued personally she responded quickly to any queries we had.

We would recommend the apartment to our friends and family.
