This is a beautiful flat in a very beautiful part of Lyon. We adored the area and how close it was to restaurants, shopping, etc. However this was a bit of a double edged sword as when we would open the windows at night (no AC or fans that we found) the noise from the surrounding restaurants was pretty loud. Just a notice that if you are a light sleeper like we are, it is something to consider in the warmer months. We usually got about 5 hours of quiet at night. Also DO NOT underestimate the stairs. The hosts mention these, but my wife and I are both young and exercise regularly, and it was WORK to bring our big suitcase up these stairs. If you are traveling with lots of luggage, keep this in mind. But overall the building is beautiful, very historic, and the hosts were so helpful with any questions we had. Lyon is a great city!
