Boris place is well located at less than a 10 € taxi ride. It would be a good idea to travel light since without an elevator the five floors can be a challenge. A close by Japanese restaurant called KAN FOOD is very good and well attended. Although I could never get Boris WiFi net and texted him several times trying to find out if I was doing something wrong, he not only confirmed the information he had given me, but his answers were prompt and pleasant. I loved the fact that his checking in instructions included photos. Boris was a good host to me and if I ever need and Airbnb close to Gare Lyon-Part-Dieu and I am traveling light, I will choose Boris Airbnb again.
