The location is wonderful for exploring Vieux Lyon and it’s many food options (we particularly liked La Nez des Fous). It’s a short walk to several museums and the funicular. The River Saône is very close as is the fine arts museum and the shopping district. The apartment itself is roomy and comfortable and a little eccentric (the toilet is at the other end from the sink and shower) as befits a 17th century building. Getting the keys was extremely easy and Valerie was a gracious host, coming over herself to help with the tv.
