We really enjoyed our stay at Boris’ apartment, right in the middle of downtown Lyon. The location was accessible to everything; window shopping, great food, old city, and bike share. We had our own water closet and bathtub/sink room, in the hall next to our bedroom. We ate our dinner one night on Boris’ balcony, 5 floors up above the buzzing city. (Yes, you do need to walk up all those steps so if you aren’t in condition to do that this isn’t for you). Boris was so nice and helpful. We really enjoy staying with the hosts rather than having our own private place. We are host ourselves so we enjoy the lifestyle. The only drawback was at night it was a bit noisy with the windows open. We closed the window and ran the fan, which was adequate but a little warm.
