The unit is in an excellent location, steps away from grocery stores, bakeries, the metro, and everything you could possibly need to live locally and self-sufficiently. Very quiet and safe area. Definitely for you if you'd like quiet and don't mind being a 15-minute walk to where the action is in Cordeliers and Old Lyon. The unit itself was excellent, with reliable air conditioning, a cool layout, and a fully furnished kitchen. Felt right at home!
