The apartment is in the best conceivable location in Lyon. It has a staggering view of Fourviere and Vieux Lyon, which is much better than staying in Vieux Lyon, which is a bit of a noisy tourist trap. A considerable portion of Lyon’s best non-touristy restaurants and bouchons were in short walking distance; indeed, we had to take transport to dinner only once in our five-day stay. The nearest subway station is five minutes’ walk away. Groceries, a great bakery, and such are right around the corner. It is in a very old building, but charmingly so, and is appropriately furnished. I can’t imagine a more comfortable or strategically -placed place to stay in Lyon.
