The location is excellent for accessing the old town (Vieux Lyon), and very good for the area between the Saone and Rhone rivers. It is not a long walk to the metro although we did not use it, and the street and pedestrian bridges are easily and quickly reached. The apartment was smaller than we expected from the photos, and while it is fine for a few days, I think we would want a place a little larger if spending more than a week. Dominique was flexible with our check out time.
