I wouldn't look any further for your stay in Lyon. It is a huge apartment by Lyon standard (really comfortable stay for two people), situated in a residential neighborhood steps away from cafes and bars, and 5 minutes away from St. Jean area which is most touristy (and yet so delightful). You can pretend to be a local while appreciating convenient access to all that Vieux Lyon has to offer!
What also surprised us was a beautiful view from the two big picture windows. It is up against a small garden/children's playground with a pick a boo view of the hill and old homes. It was joyful to open the windows every morning, hear birds chirping, and of course people watching as the French goes about their lives.
Be sure to get your daily croissant and of course pain au chocolat from the patisserie located in a street behind the building (opens at 7am) from a delightful lady. If you love oysters (and bulots if you are courageous!) , please check out La Case a Huittres. It seems the whole neighborhood knows the cook and the owner. Oh, did I mention that you have an unbeatable view of St. George church which is barely 100 meters away from this place.
A few folks mentioned about the difficulty in getting the keys. Wasn't a big deal for us. We ubered our way so stopped by at the pick up place which added 2 euros to the bill. If one of you were to walk to retrieve the keys, it's an opportunity for the remaining one to have a nice chilled beer right by the place.
Oh, lastly, can't thank enough Doris for her speedy responses. We were not immune to air travel fiascos and we weren't sure when we could arrive while searching for alternate flights. She let us know the keys can be picked up as late as 2am on certain days so we were relieved to know there was no need to find lodging at midnight in Lyon.
