This apartment was perfect for our trip to Lyon: looking over a square in the centre of the old town, with restaurants, bars shops and the Metro right on the doorstep. We travelled as a couple and it was the perfect size for two. Dominique was a wonderful host, providing us with everything we could possibly need in the flat and with lots of information about the area.

We arrived late (I had forgotten to change time zones) but Dominique was still able to let us in and give us the lowdown on the area. Most shops were shut but one called 'Viva la vie' on nearby Rue Lainerie was open for supplies (water, toothpaste, etc). A word of advice about Lyon - lots of museums, tours, etc are shut on Mondays, so plan ahead if you are there on a Monday. Otherwise it is the perfect destination for a city break and we had a wonderful time.
