Despite the challenges posed by the prolonged heat wave in Lyon and southern France (the worst in over 13 years) during our stay in July and the lack of air conditioning in apartments and a number of businesses in Lyon, we really enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment. It is perfectly located both for day to day living (very close to the metro and grocery stores and surrounded by great restaurants) and for visiting all of the major tourist sites and museums. It is also in the heart of the shopping district. We loved the neighbourhood and walked everywhere. Our hosts were very welcoming and gracious and full of helpful suggestions. We hope to return to Lyon and would happily stay once again in this charming apartment.
