Julieete's apartment is located in the beautiful Vieux Lyon in a small, cobblestoned street directly opposite a discreet side entrance to the station. The main entrance - used by most people - is 30 ms around the corner so there is no noise from people going in and out. The side entrance was very handy when leaving with a heavy case. The apartment was perfect for my needs. It's spacious, apart from small but quite adequate bathroom, well equipped, attractive, very comfortable queen size bed and a spectacular view of the cathedral. The funicular, which goes to the cathedral, glides past in full view about 50 ms from the window. I was more than comfortable in the apartment and had the best of old Lyon's restaurants, shops etc only a two minute walk away. There is a small bar in the street which can be a little noisy at night - no blaring music, just people's voices. It didn't bother me and I'm usually a light sleeper, but thought I should mention it. I cannot fault the apartment. However, best of all was Juliette, the owner. Her responses to my questions prior to arrival were always prompt and pleasant. She gave me detailed instructions on how to reach the apartment by
Metro and agreed to let me check in early. Nothing was too much trouble. This was only confirmed upon meeting her. She is a delightful person who is keen for you to enjoy both Lyon itself and her apartment. She provided me with maps and wrote a list of various restaurant recommendations, with notes re prices etc. Again, nothing was too much trouble. Thanks, Juliette, for a wonderful 4 days.
