This is an amazing apartment centered in the middle of everything you want to do. The apartment is spacious and bright, leaving you a lot of room if you're staying long term. Add to that a large bathing room, and a washer/dryer. The place it's self sits only two blocks from the river, and a five minute walk within tons of restraunts, markets, shopping and fantastic sites to explore of old Lyon. Laurent is warm and friendly and met us at the door upon arrival. After giving us a tour of his place he provided us (Honeymooning Americans) with instructions on how to operate all the amenities of the place. He also provided written instructions in each room as how to operate everything. Laurent also gave us a list and map to local restaraunts, butchers, bakers, pharmacies, etc. With the wifi he provided we would put these addresses in our phones and be off. But due to his proximity to anything/everything you may want, maps werenot really necessary as everything is right there in his neighborhood in the heart of Lyon. Can't wait to go back.
