during the past 6 years I visited Lyon several times and booked a number of apartments. this one was the best of all of them. perfectly situated, rather large, beautifully renovated... also, it's nice to have a kitchen with necessities like salt, vinegar etc already at hand so you don't have to buy all this over and over again. as for the architecture, it perfectly combines the ancient lyonese style with its visible stone walls and "French" ceiling with a more "Haussmann"-style stucco bedroom. the building itself is a joy, too, with a great open staircase and huge windows... I could go on, but maybe I shouldn't because I would like to book this apartment in the future and I don't want it to be occupied all the time....
