Nice, clean, comfortable apartment in a lovely old French building. The apartment was peaceful, quiet and has character. It was ideal for getting a flavor of Lyon.
I also enjoyed the area once I acclimatized. Near the bus and tram, not too far from the metro. Restaurants. Nice open market in the square, and in the early evening there was a group playing harmonious rhythm music in the square.
The entrance hallway from the street door is not a reflection of the apartment, and 4 flights up, do not let first impressions influence you. Though I did not meet Ahlem she was most welcoming. I would like to go back to Lyon, and I would choose to stay here.
