Do not hesitate to book this apartment, it is wonderful. Communication was through Antoine, (Anne’s son), and from initial contact to the conclusion of our stay, it was exemplary. We did not meet him, however his instructions for access of keys, was clear and concise and there were no issues. Security is very good, there are two locked doors to go through before getting to the apartment door. There are three flights of stairs, 72 steps if memory serves correctly, however the staircase is a generous width, not too squeezy if you have large suitcases, (there are no lifts).
Location is fantastic for public transport with everything a 5 minute walk away. From the apartment it is 200m to Ampère Metro stop: 800m to Place Bellecour and Metro: 550m to Perrache Station/Metro, this station also has trams. There is a large UExpress Supermarket 100m away on Rue de la Charité. There is a washing machine and dryer in the apartment, however if you need to do a large load of washing and drying, there is a clean laundromat 200m away on Rue de la Charité. Distances are according to Google Maps. There are also numerous eating places in the vicinity.
Great for a good nights sleep, the bed was comfortable, the whole area is very quiet and we never heard anyone else in the building in our four night stay. There were heavy drapes to keep out the light for sleeping. The apartment also had lots of natural light, as well as numerous lights if needed.
Big thick bath towels, (the best we have had so far in nearly 4 weeks of travel), and there were plenty supplied. The bathroom is separate from the toilet.
The apartment, while in an old building, is very clean and comfortable, with all modern conveniences, (you wouldn’t know it was an old building), We didn't cook, (too many restaurants to choose from), so don’t know about the supply of bits ’n’ pieces, however, given the attention to detail which shows in the apartment overall, the kitchen probably has everything you would need. The wifi connection is very good.

Lyon is a beautiful city and should we ever come back, we would love to stay here again. Thank you Antoine and Anne, for making Lyon even better.
