This has got to be one of the most eclectic places I've ever stayed in the world! It's a very rustic apartment with a feeling of old world charm meets Alice in Wonderland. It felt like staying in a magazine setting for rustic pictures. Could be a great location for a photography lover!
We were greeted by Alexandre's dad; he was a very kind and helpful man. He didn't speak a lot of English or German and we didn't speak French. However between the 3 of us we got settled in, he showed us directions to the funicular railway, and the area of some of the best little restaurants Lyon has (2nd/last stop on the funicular). There is a nice small market next door to the apartment (both ground level).
The entry is directly in from the square into the living/dinning room. Behind the fireplace is the bedroom with twin bunk beds and a double bed. Up one stair from the living room is the kitchen/second sleeping (fancy curtains) bed- queen size?/small coffee area. Through the indoor patio door there is a nice interior courtyard that's completely covered. On the sides there is an entrance to the bathroom and to the single bedroom. We were traveling with 6 (3 adults and 3 kids) and the size felt a bit tight and not a lot of privacy. It might be best suited for smaller groups. For the price we were really expecting the place had an additional bedroom and that was a little surprising. It's a super fun / eclectic place!
