I have stayed at Nicholas' place before and I can say that he never disappoints! Check in was super easy, super simple, and the place was spacious and every time I visit Lyon I will do everything I can to stay at one of his places. Way better than a hotel. Only notes I would give is that there is no elevator, which for us was no problem but if you have heavy suitcases or any trouble going up stairs, I'd proceed with caution. Other than that, it is a great alternative to staying in a hotel. Excellent excellent place.
