오 쾨르 드 리옹 - 오페라 - 오텔 드 빌레(G)

Anyone thinking of booking this should know that this is not a hotel. It is more like an air B&B - no reception service, and you have to make arrangements with the owner to meet or pick up keys etc. The apartment is nice, very central in a lively district with bars and restaurants near the opera, and well-furnished. However it is accessed via a dark courtyard and you have to walk around bins and other debris from the restaurants to get into it. Lyon is a nice city and relatively safe, but nonetheless I wouldn't recommend it for a woman on her own because of this. It's up 3 flights of steep stairs - no lift.
