When we arrived at the apartment, we received a warm welcome from Dominique, who showed us round and made sure that we knew everything we needed to know.
Dominique's apartment is in the bustling heart of picturesque old Lyon. It can be very busy during the day but the advantage is that you have a great selection of restaurants, bars, shops and cafes right on your doorstep. There was little or no noise from the street at night.
There's a small Casino supermarket at the end of the street for all your everyday needs. It is easy to get to other parts of the city on foot and by public transport from here too.
The apartment itself is on the third floor of centuries old building overlooking a charming square lined with restaurants and shops. There's a lift so no need to carry everything up several flights of stairs. Once inside, you will find an ingeniously laid out and compact studio apartment, with living room, dining area, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. It is small but feels spacious. Everthing you will need is supplied and it is spotlessly clean. It was absolutely perfect for the two of us.
Highly recommended for a stay in this vibrant and fascinating city.
