Oldie's place is conveniently located in the hot spot ( yet safe) part of old town , but as noted, it's quietly tucked away in a historic old building. You will sleep well at night because of structure of the building and how she has the rooms laid out and separated. FYI for those wondering, it was in the mid 80s in Lyon and we did not have issues with the temperatures inside the home. There is one very good fan that can be moved into a bedroom if needed. The metro is very close if you need it to get to the train station for a day trip out of Lyon. Great value and Odie was a very responsive and helpful host!
