Alain's place in Vieux Lyon is absolutely a perfect apartment for a stay in Lyon. It is a very short walk to a convenient Metro / Funicular stop. It is -- literally -- right above one of the best buchons in Lyon.
The kitchen is handy, the beds are very comfortable, the bathroom is very clean with a nice big bath tub. Additionally the sunny apartment has nice big windows that allow for a pleasant breeze -- east to west. Plus a beautiful view of the cathedral.
Alain was a very charming host who made every effort to accommodate his guests. My first visit to Lyon and I would seek out Alain's apartment for any return visit. 5 stars all the way.
