I had the pleasure of staying at Riva’s apartment for an entire month. It is situated in a great part of town convenient to all of the major tourist attractions yet still off the beaten path so as not to be over ran tourists. It is very much of a hipster neighborhood with some great affordable restaurants and organic grocery stores within a stones throw of the apartment. The apartment is very clean, and Riva is very responsive. It is very convenient to many different types of good public transportation.While air conditioned, I had the misfortune of being there during a heat wave. It is an inside air-conditioner requiring that a window be open in order to vent. Naturally, the window being open also lets out cool air being created. While adequate enough, it is not always the best cooling situation during a heatwave. When visiting Lyon again, I would not hesitate to choose this excellent option.
