It's was great staying at Alexandre's loft, it's even more beautiful then in the pictures! And the view is stunning, I would look forward to waking up in the morning just to see the sunrise (you can also see the sunset!).
Alex is a great host as well, he left me maps and city guides, a bottle of wine, some breakfast and Nespresso capsules! Better then any hotel :) Location is great too, there is a bus 3 minutes walk from the apartment that will take you to all the main stations in Lyon...
