this apartment is brilliant, directly in the centre of the city and very close to the metro for getting around the greater area. the apartment was cool even when it was 37 degrees outside and Boris' cat is very friendly. it is a very homely place and I felt right at home, although I was out most of the time exploring what is now my favorite city in France. I did not meet Boris, but he kept in touch via e-mail and has a large selection of tourist guides and a map in the room which proved extremely useful. I loved the balcony, having breakfast out there and seeing the Basillica and Tower from there, as well as the Place Bellecour The apartment is far brighter than it appeared on the pictures and I was pleasantly surprised by how much there is to do in Lyon.
