This apartment is definitely unique in its location (wonderful) and it’s access (seeing is believing). Don’t do it if you can’t handle over 100 steps up to the room and think of luggage. But the people who live on the hillsides of old Lyon do those hills everyday and talk the entire time. It’s an enchanting experience and worth the effort. My husband agrees and he managed at age 72 with a total ankle replacement. I agree, and I had to carry all the luggage and groceries. Go for it if you want the real Vieux Lyon.
