This apartment was excellent for two couples for a week in Lyon. It was ready to walk almost anywhere from there -- maybe 10-12 minutes up to Croix-Rousse, or to Vieux Lyon, or over to the Rhône. It's a lived-in apartment, not a typical sterile Airbnb Ikea, with hundreds of books, a really well-stocked kitchen if you feel like cooking, two bedrooms with very comfortable beds (we didn't use the small kids' bedroom), two bathrooms with good showers (one a tub/shower combination) plus a separate toilet room (with even more books; note that there's only one toilet in the apartment), and a good view over the Saône river. There's a bit of noise from traffic and people passing by/hanging out at night, but nothing loud or objectionable -- it's not near noisy bars, restaurants etc.
My only reservation about the location is that it's about a 10+ minute walk to the metro. Several buses stop a couple of blocks away, and we walked most places anyway, but a closer metro stop would have made this place completely ideal, not just nearly so.
