We had a great stay. Raphael was a super host, very friendly and helpful.The only negative was that there was a lot of stairs to the bus and a steep uphill walk to the parking lot.This can be a little hard for older people.

Dear Annette,
Thank you for your kind review.
Indeed, Neuchâtel is built on a hillside, nestled between the Jura mountains and the lake. This unique setting means that many homes, including ours, are accessed via steps — around 80 steps for an elevation of about 15 meters in our case. The reward, however, is a stunning panoramic view of Lake Neuchâtel and the Alps that most visitors greatly enjoy.
Kind regards,
Raphael
As an older couple, the flat was perfect for us. It was clean, quiet, recently refurbished and modern, and had a view of Lake Neuchatel with the Alps in the distance. Our host, Raphael, is very responsive and communicative. We used public transportation accessible by a nearby bus stop that made the supermarket, Old Town, and train station easily accessible. However, there is a substantial flight of stairs to the street below. A parking permit is available for parking at the upper level if you choose to drive a car.Neuchatel is a smaller, less touristy city than other parts of Switzerland. The citizens were very accommodating and welcoming, especially considering we don't speak the predominant French. Aside from the city, there are also areas throughout the Canton and beyond that are worthy of exploration. We hiked the Gorges de l'Areuse, sampled Absinthe in Motiers, and visited the Omega Museum in nearby Bienne. We chose Chamonix-Mt. Blanc, France for an over night alpine experience and the Aguille du Midi was spectacular. Given it was May, the tourists were low and the weather was nearly perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better overall experience.

Dear Robert,
Thank you very much for your detailed and positive review. As you noticed, Neuchâtel is built between Lake Neuchâtel and the Jura mountains, which gives the city a rather steep terrain. Many homes are accessed via stairs, but the reward is that nearly everyone enjoys stunning views of the lake and the Alps. We're delighted that you enjoyed the apartment, the region, and your time in French-speaking Switzerland!
Kind regards,
Raphael
