Beautiful older apartment overlooking the Soane - the Basilica seems so close - especially at night - that you could reach across to touch it. Super location across the river from Vieux Lyon (an easy walk yet far enough to avoid the commotion) and around the corner from the Musee Beau Arts. RUN to Diplo each morning for breakfast.
It was HOT, 90-100F, and we really appreciated the portable air conditioner. The bathroom is totally remodeled (great) but the rest of the apartment retains a "belle epoch" charm.
Emmanuel is the perfect host, on the spot to arrange a late night arrival (he lives across the stairwell) and full of local information.
A great "find" and recommended to any couple wanting to experience Lyon living.
