Tha apartment is small but a real gem. It is only a few minutes' walk to the old town or to the Roman theatres but it is at the end of a private road and is completely quiet. The terrace/garden are not overlooked at all. It was unfortunately a little cool in the morning/evening when we were there but one could definitely have lovely breakfasts and evenings on the terrace.
Marianne could not be there when we arrived but a friend was waiting for us and showed us everything and also gave us some tips and directions e.g. to the lovely market by the river on Saturday morning. We met Marianne before we left and she was just as nice and friendly as we had imagined from her e-mails and text messages in advance of our arrival.
The apartment is very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. We always appreciate washing machines and dishwashers! The apartment does not have its own parking space but to get to it there is a private road on which parking is allowed and we were lucky enough to get a space there. (Otherwise there is a car park at the top end of the private road which seems to be free of charge until 9 a.m.) It was great to be able to park free of charge in a safe location more or less right by the apartment and then to explore the city on foot.
Unfortunately we only spent 2 nights in Lyon on our way home from the south of France. We REALLY liked the city, want to come back and hope Marianne will still be letting her apartment when we do :-)
