Romain's apartment is in a very historic area of Lyon, right on the Saone river with incredible views across the water to the grand buildings opposite. The apartment is full of eclectic furnishings and was very comfortable for our family of 5. There is a huge range of restaurants, cafe's, bistro's and boulangeries all within a few minutes walk and the basilica and Roman ruins are a short walk up the hill behind the apartment. Lyon is a condensed, less frantic version of Paris with a cool vibe and amazing food. I would thoroughly recommend both the c its and Romain's apartment.
