Boris was a fantastic host. Even with my short time in Lyon, with his skill in making recommendations for things to do in the city, I was able to make maximum use of my minimal time, and after completing exhausing myself (I chose to explore the city mainly by foot) I was able to take time to peacfully relax before my long flight home. The room is very clean and comfortable. One thing future guests should take seriously - the stairs are very long, and as Boris states there is no elevator and this is the 5th story of an 1823 building. Even without luggage, walking up the stairs can feel like a workout. I overlooked this fact when I brought a 23kg/50lb suitcase (my fault - my Lyon stay was the last leg of a long trip where I'd already done a lot of shopping). If you have a lot of luggage, its better to spread the weight out more evenly across your bags, more than I did.
