We stayed at Vincent's during a quick three day trip to Lyon at is served as a fantastic base for exploring the city.
The flat is near the top of Fourvière hill and can be reached easily with the funicular tram, or a short intense climb for those who are a little braver (15 minutes on the way up, and much less on the way down). Since furnicular trams are included as part of Lyon's metro system, and given that metro tickets are quite essential to exploring Lyon in a short space of time we only made the climb once. The surrounding area is quiet with a grocers, tobacconist, boulangerie and pizza take-away, and there is a park with a great view over the city less than a minute from the front door.
At the base of the hill is the old-town, with enough choice of restaraunts and bars to keep anybody happy. Less than 10 minutes walk from the old town is the 1st district with a range of more up-market establishments.
The flat itself was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The bedroom/living room is in the front and is very light and airy with high ceilings. We particularly enjoyed using Vincent's Hi-Fi system which made getting ready to leave the house each morning that much more exciting.
Would definitely recommend.
