This is a great apartment in a really fascinating part of Lyon - the old weavers district, the Crois Rousse. The area feels local, warm, and 'buzzy' and it's only 15 minutes walk from the centre of town (downhill) and a Metro line nearby takes you back up the hill at the end of the day! It's an old, typical Lyonnaise building with the characteristic high, wooden ceiling, and a spectacular view out over the city; we sat and watched the city every night with a glass of wine and watched the swifts coming and going and night falling. The apartment is well equipped and comfortable and sensitively and tastefully furnished. It has character. Do note the four flights of stairs though! But you don't get those views without the height. The are plenty of very good small restaurants and bars in the neighborhood, where service was very friendly and personal. Do also visit the Maison Des Canuts nearby which tells the fascinating history, in situ, of the weavers in the district. We were struck in general by Lyon's charm and relaxed attitude - it's an easy city to be in and move around. Thoroughly recommended.
