This is a beautiful apartment in a quiet street with a view of the river but very close to the action and metro. We were three adults on a 3 week vacation, so for us, the apartment was tight. Between ourselves and our luggage, there was really not much more room to move. I think for two adults and small children, it would be fine, or for those traveling with less luggage. Emilie, is wonderful and super helpful with tips and tricks for the city! It was a very warm time in Lyon (98F/36C). There is no AC in the apt, but there was a fan in the bedroom which was really helpful. One can't control the weather and it's a chance you take staying in a historic building but we could have used another fan in the front room.
