One thing to note is that there are more than 100 stairs to climb - 7 flights of sloping narrow stairs which present a problem with heavy bags. Furthermore, the security is minimal as the key code on the building did not work while we were there, and no safe is available in the apartment. The lack of air conditioning and the fact that the apartment is on the top floor means it was very hot in the height of summer.
However the place offers great views of Lyon rooftops and the design of the apartment is modern and comfortable to live in. Also, brilliant location with lots of boulangeries and restaurants nearby - perfect for enjoying the spirit of Lyon right on your doorstep.
