Great location to see Lyon - you can walk to all places of interest: the old city, the peninsula, Croix Rousse. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby for everything you need. The apartment is simple and well-maintained, and clearly a rental, with sparse furnishings, but it's adequate.
The apartment managers are extremely kind, helpful and responsive - they made a big difference for us. They respond to questions very quickly and went the extra step to make us comfortable. Thank you!
One word of warning is that it's the top floor, and in July it was pretty hot, and there's no AC, and the windows only open a few inches at the top. Fans are provided, though, and we slept fine. I wouldnt say the location is especially noisy, but a white noise machine helped.
