If you are looking for adventure and to avoid all-things five-star, this is the place for you. But physical mobility is required. It's a good walk to/from parking (make sure you have a small car) and carrying luggage up/down the 17th century spiral staircase is a trip. But you will be in a great location within walking distance of lots of interesting stuff. The lodging is artistically bohemian with everything one needs for a comfortable stay. The place is quiet and you will be rewarded with a unique taste of Lyon. We felt safe and comfortable walking the neighborhood day and night.
