Location is excellent especially for first time visitors to Lyon. We walked to explore all the different areas of the city from the apartment, but there is also public transit nearby. The apartment was very clean and comfortable for a couple for a long weekend. We did have a problem with the door that took multiple phone calls to resolve as the door lock had a peculiarity that was not intuitive and was not mentioned in the check in instructions. Other than this frustration at the beginning, the apartment itself provided a great base to see Lyon and access both the historical sights as well as the more modern bars and restaurants the city has to offer.
