She's not kidding - a lot of stairs to the apartment, but worth every step for the fantastic view. Line's place was spacious but cozy feeling. She prepared a comprehensive document with everything we needed to know about her place and sent it to us a few days before our stay. She was very helpful in looking up our train schedule to meet us and give us the key to her apartment. Her apartment is about a 10 minute walk (with luggage) from the metro station. Location is convenient for accessing all of the interesting sites in Lyon, and very close to some great restaurants. There is a nice boulangerie right down the street, make sure to check it out.
