We felt extremely welcome on our arrival and Alexandre's dad gave us a very warm reception. He was very helpful in showing us around the apartment but also providing information about getting around the town. The apartment is in a lovely quiet neighbourhood just outside the city centre and was everything we expected and more. It is very well equipped and the funicular is only a short walk away, which takes you right into the heart of old Lyon. The local food shops near the apartment were also excellent and provided ingredients for several of the dinners we cooked in the very large kitchen. We would definitely stay again on our next trip to Lyon.
