The apartment is in a great location, close to the Croix Rousse with restaurants and a good grocery, all UP the hill and, Down the hill is the beautiful plaza of the Hotel de Ville of Lyon. It is quite steep and a bit hard for older people but there is a very pleasant walkway close to the apartment.
The apartment itself, has everything you need. The kitchen is well equipped, the bathroom modern, good hot water. We hung our laundry out in the sun mostly but, a block away, is a drier, when needed. The bedroom is on a platform, up two steps above the rest of the apartment so you do have to get use to this.
The courtyard is larger than shown in the pictures and very pleasant. You have a private area but there is a larger shared space and the few neighbors are pleasant and considerate and quiet.
Since we had bicycles I must mention there is a full flight of stairs to reach the apartment. Parking is terrible in this area but public transportation is awesome! There is also excellent security for this apartment with a code locked door at the street and a second locked gate before our shared courtyard.
Our hosts were very accommodating, adding some hooks and cubes for storing our things. They also checked to be sure we were comfortable on a regular basis since we were there for two months.
The temperature in the apartment was always pleasant. Our stay was mid summer and we used a fan some but there is no direct sun so always cool enough.
I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment for a pleasant stay in Lyon.
