Valerie's apartment is a fine place to stay in Presque I'le-Lyon: in the middle of Bellecour, near the bridge to Vieux Lyon, close to shopping, restaurants, the river cruise stop on the quai nearby, and the first stop of the C9 bus to Gare Part-Dieu in an adjacent square.
The building itself is large, 6 stories, with an unusual entrance (2 coded entries) and access to the apartment by combination of stairs and elevator.
The apartment consists of a large room with couch, chairs, an exquiisite small carved marble fireplace, a screened off bed (excellent), and lovely art on the walls. There is a fine separate bathroom and toilet. The kitchen facilities are excellent. It is pleasant to eat in at kitchen table. There is minimal noise from the courtyard. Valerie was very responsive and efficient, demonstrating all facets of the apartment and leaving a comprehensive packet of material about the apartment. we would happily stay in Valerie's place again when next in Lyon.
