The apartment is located in a central part of Lyon - plenty of restaurants, bars etc. Lively and nice area. It is, however, very noisy during weekends (the first night we stayed, there were loud party until 7 am in the morning). During weekdays it was better :-) The apartment is nice, but if you are higher than 190 you find the ceiling to be too low. We see other guests have experienced flexibility with respect to check in and check out and storage of luggage. Unfortunately, we did not experience the same flexibility. So maybe ask before you book :-)
