Alexander's place is a wonderful large loft space with lots of room to hang out. It's on the ground floor, which made it very easy for us as we had a lot of luggage. There is free street parking steps from the building. The loft is beautifully decorated in a way that fits very well with the lovely old building it is in. It is also very well situated above the Old Town of Lyon. You can be down in the middle of town in just 10 minutes or so via the funicular. There is an all night market next door to Alexandre's. Alexandre's father Patrick came to let us in. He gave us a thorough tour of the loft, and also gave us the name of a superb restaurant for dinner. He was very welcoming, helpful and friendly. We highly recommend Alexandre's place.
