The view is beautiful, the location is central to most everything Lyon has to offer--fabulous restaurants, the traboules of the Croix Rousse, the Parc de la Tete d'Or (which is magnificent), shopping, and public transportation. The apartment is beautifully renovated and decorated. Nathalie was very prompt in all communications and helpful with any questions. As other reviews have suggested, there is street noise from traffic on the quai, but the sound is easily muted with closed windows.
