Great place for our month at the Institut!! We were sad to leave...
We loved Virginie's apartment and will definitely stay there again if we come back to Villefranche. Even though we had to hike up the hill each day for classes at the Institut de Francais, we found there were big advantages to staying in the Vieille Ville. There are lots of restaurants close by, it is a short walk down to the waterfront, and it is close to the train station.
The views are as wonderful as they appear in the pictures and the apartment is very comfortable. The building is old, which is reflected in the old-style tile floor, but the bathroom and kitchen are recently refurbished and everything worked! We especially loved the shower! We used the kitchen a lot and it is quite well outfitted for a rental apartment. The furnishings are basic but worked well for us.
You do need to realize this apartment is on the 5th (US) floor and there is no elevator. The Vieille Ville is a pedestrian only area with stairs on the little streets, so no direct access for taxis or cars, through there is a road just above this area. Getting our luggage up and down was a challenge - which we fully anticipated after reading the description - so travel lightly if you can.
