This apartment was perfect: great location, spacious and well equipped, and very comfortable for my family of four. Being a 18th century building, some spaces are unique but this appartment was very effecient and a perfect place to retreat to after a long day of sightseeing in Lyon. The kitchen and living room are excellent. We had very warm weather during the visit and the appartment's central air conditioning was a life saver. The view from the narrow balcony never got old and was impressive even on the last day of our stay. 10-15 minutes walk to Rue Mercier for dinner, old town, and either the Rhone or Saone Rivers. Metro, Velo'v bike stand, and groceries less than 5 minutes. Patrick met us at the appartment with a smile even though we were two hours late for our arrival. Communication was a breeze by text message and through the AirBnb website. This was our first visit to Lyon and we truly enjoyed the city - can't wait for our return visit!
