The apartment is the perfect perch to visit Lyon. It is centrally located smack in the middle of Vieux Lyon, near bouchons, museums, bars, ice cream shops and other sites. The apartment itself is in an old building with tiny but cool old elevator. The winding staircase makes you feel like you're walking through history and is typical of Lyon's older parts. Since you're in the middle of it all, there is some noise at night but it usually died down after 12:30 a.m.
