Bellecour is great location with Rue de Republique shopping strip just outside the door. The fantastic Lyon Metro is only 5-10 mins from the apartment. Boris was very helpful with Lyonnaise bouchon suggestions for dinner and tourist recommendations. You can walk or Metro to the many interesting attractions, bars, restaurants in Lyon. You have your own area with bedroom, toilet and bathroom separate to the main part of the apartment. The only negative was that I did not realize that there are 120 steps to the apartment and no elevator. The positive is that you burn off all the wonderful food and wine.
