The loft-like apartment was really well situated in Lyon with only a 10-min. walk west over the bridges to all the main areas. You can see a little bit of the river across the street and it’s easy to get to the river bank. The amenities are nice, ample and well designed lighting, big kitchen. Over the top tv options and strong internet.
Th check-in was a little labyrinthian width codes and key access but it was pretty swift after the initial run.
The stairs up to the apartment said in other reviews aren’t a big deal. There are WAY crazier ones in Paris apartments that are super dark, no hand-rails and uneven/slippery. These are heaven in comparison.
One note is that the area can get rather “lively” especially on the weekends or when the Sunday market opens across the busy street rather early and there isn’t too much noise abatement.. but..this is a city so it’s rather par for the course. My wife can sleep through fire drills and I only needed some ear plugs for sleeping and it was fine.
