The apartment is about 10 min walk from old town and situated very quietly within a common courtyard. It is renovated modern style with lots of wood and natural lighting from skylights. The kitchen has Nespresso machine and induction cooker and dishwasher, a shower and separate toilet + washing machine room, and even a mini walk-in closet. Strong wifi and plenty of electric outlets. Julie provided a folder with suggestions for dining and parks and groceries. There is a good bakery 600m, Carrefour supermarket in Vaise 1km, and a 'nightshop' for basics practically nextdoor. We would not recommend to do major cooking in the apartment because there is limited airsuction, but preparing basic meals for kids is perfect and there are so many good restaurants nearby anyway. The first night we dined at the restaurant Pierre Scize just two doors down and found it very friendly and good value. You can park for free on the quai along the river, but we choose to use a long-stay parking at reduced rates in the city centre and I commuted there with the electric Lime scooters that you see everywhere in Lyon (15 cents/min). We really enjoyed Lyon for a week and saw most major attractions and a day touring around Beaujolais. We highly recommend Julie's apartment!
