This was a great place to stay for a solo travelr. The room was very private and I had plenty of space to spread out my things and relax during down time. The building does have an elevator, but note that you will have to climb a few flights of stairs once in your apartment. The room itself is a loft space with a short ladder up to it. This wasn't a problem for me though, and I found the views from the room absolutely beautiful. Adie and Julien were wonderful hosts, providing me with plenty of restaurant and activity recommendations. They are a very cool couple who are interested in music and film. Their apartment and cat are adorable. The place is also in Vieux Lyon, but not the ultra-touristy part. I found this to be great because everything in Lyon was walkable, but I slept peacefully at night.
