Let me start with the host, Evelyne. This was our first time in Lyon and she was the perfect host. She met us in front of the apartment and carefully walked us around inside to make sure we knew how to operate everything. After we settled in she supported us with city guide information so that we saw more and wandered less. The apartment is one of the best we have ever experienced. Fully loaded. The things we look for when traveling in France: a big, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen and a modern bathroom were all there. The windows in the sitting area looks down onto rue Lanterne, a fun street for people-watching and, considering how close it is to a big, busy plaza, a quiet street. We couldn’t have asked for a better location. Metro, epicierie, boulangerie, museums, restaurants (you have to try a “bouchon”) were all within a 5 minute walk. And, lastly, Lyon! What a great city. Food, outrageously good,. Things to do everywhere. It is easy to get around in. If you like to shop, especially for men’s clothes, this is better than Paris. And just gorgeous to walk around in. The section where the apartment is located, le Presquile, is between the two rivers so if you like to walk this is your place. We recommend 8 rue Lanterne with the highest of confidence.
