The apartment was beautiful in a superb location overlooking the rhone right in the heart of a vibrant city. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.however, parking is not easy. We arrived around 2000hrs after a very long drive from Amsterdam but we're not able to park anywhere outside the apartment to enable us to obtain the parking permit to get into the nearby car park. This did not detract from our enjoyment and we would go again but this situation could be managed better by the owner, particularly for guests new to lyon.
