We had a fabulous couple of days in Lyon, staying at Sophie and Benoit's apartment. We are a family of four (kids aged 8 and 5) and it was the final stop of a two week holiday in southeast France.
The apartment is beautifully appointed and spacious for such a central location. The building has great character and overlooks the Rhone (albeit with a fairly busy road in between).
The location suited us perfectly. It was about 15-20 minutes walk (at kid speed) to the old town and a similar distance in the opposite direction to the fantastic Parc de la Tete d'Or where we spent a lovely final day.
Communication (in French) with the hosts was easy both before and during our stay, with quick responses.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others, particularly families. It was our first trip to Lyon and we'll definitely be back.
