This apartment is great. It is not in the old part of Lyon but is easily accessible via metro lines. It is five minutes from main train routes and excellent shops including Galeries Lafayette, Monoprix and almost everything you could want. A few steps along the road is an excellent artisanal bakery with the best eclairs ever, Le Fournil de l'Artisan. It is very close to the Bibliotheque Municipale. The flat is bigger than it appears on the photos with high ceilings and was very clean. It is in an old building so has rafters and stone details--a calm and pleasant place to stay if design matters to you. The resources are fairly basic but adequate. One thing to be aware of is that there is a metal staircase up to the sleeping area which would be difficult to navigate for younger children or if you are less steady on your feet. The beams in the sleeping area are also low, so an average height person runs a risk of hitting their head. But altogether, a lovely stay.
