“There's an old-world charm to this address in Lyon's 2nd arrondissement, and it's a welcome change from the predictable. I found the location ideal: quiet, but an easy stroll to the shops and the Bellacour metro stop. I think its blend of classic atmosphere and central convenience makes it a smart pick.”
