High ceilings and large windows make the apartment bright and welcoming, and the space is well organized. We experienced only a little trouble with noise (and closing the window took care of the problem). The location is superb for exploring the Roman, Renaissance, and 18th century sections of Lyon. There's a laundromat at the end of the block and a fine boulangerie around the corner on the other end; there's also excellent Indian food and ice cream to be had nearby. Jean-Charles was an attentive and helpful host. The elevator did stop working the day before our departure; however, we had no difficulty because Jean-Charles came the next morning to carry our luggage down to the street and make sure our taxi was there at the appointed time. We would definitely stay at this apartment again!
