Alexander's place has lots of space and the added bonus of being on the ground floor. (No stairs!) It isn't modern but very quaint and has everything you need. We were met by Pierre who showed us around and explained the features of the house. He had also parked nearby so that we were able to have his parking spot when he left. The funicular was an easy walk from the house which took you into the centre of the city. An enjoyable stay in Lyon and highly recommended.
