This is a wonderful large apartment between the upper & lower town areas. A great spot to start your adventures either way, but it does require walking steep steps / hills no matter which way you go. The front windows (in 2 bedrooms) provide amazing views of the street, buildings, park & river. The rear windows (bedroom, kitchen, living room, hallway) provide amazing views of the funicular, buildings, cliff & river. The street below has several stores: souvenirs, fireworks, amazing popcorn and a small deli (épicerie) which only seems to occasionally be opened. The most convenient parking lots we found were below. An outside lot by the ferry and a large indoor lot a little further down the river. 24 hr parking cost $18. You can park outside of the apartment for free from 9pm to 9am. During the day, there is metered parking out front for $3 an hour. The apartment often smelled of the neighbors cooking / smoking, but we lit candles which helped with the smells. Overall a great place!
