This apartment is extremely beautiful and quite amazing. The construction that the square below is undergoing was initially disappointing but it actually was such a small part of the entire experience that it became insignificant. I have traveled a lot and Lyon is now one of my favorite cities of its size. The apartment is perfectly situated and central to everything. I highly recommend.
Note: The four flights of stairs ( no elevator) with luggage can be daunting and you must be able bodied. Pauline graciously helped which was really thoughtful.
