We are so glad that we decided (in the end) to book this place at Les Confluences, rather than stay in town. The flat itself is really well fitted out. There was everything in the kitchen we might have required, plentiful crockery etc, and some supplies of tea, coffee and many other basics to get us going. We ended up not actually cooking (unusual for us, but we were spoilt for choice in the locality), although we did eat a few meals ‘at home’. Also, the beds were comfy, and the showers great, nice linen etc.
But it’s the location that sells this. It is a very wide flat, with a large and long balcony over the dock giving great views of the Saône hills as well as the comings and goings on the water.
In addition there is a bakery downstairs, a supermarket 5 mins away, and all the restaurants and facilities of the Confluence Centre are right on hand. In spite of its nearness to the Confluence, the flat is very quiet.
We used the Vaporetto service to get into town. Be aware the the T1 tram service is out of action for the rest of August 2019. It’s very easy to stay here. We would be delighted to stay again if we were to return to Lyon.
