This is a most interesting apartment imbedded in the history of the old quarter of Lyon. It is quiet and has good views. However, I would caution anyone with large pieces of luggage or who have issues with stairs, that there are over 100 stairs to climb in a steep and narrow spiral staircase to access the apartment from the street below. It is easier to access from the street above though there are still several stairs and a long and narrow exterior passageway.
