I could happily live here at Le Doyenné. From the listing photos I worried it might be a bit poky but in reality it's the perfect size and space for one. I felt immediately at home. I came here to work and was more productive than I’d hoped for. But when I needed fresh air or the stretch my legs, there’s Fourvière Hill just behind – an excellent workout, or take the funicular – the Metro stop's about a minute down the street, and Presquîle five minutes over the bridge, the Rhone a little further on. Restaurants, cafes, patisseries, they’re all nearby along the charming cobbled streets of Vieux-Lyon. Blandine and her friend Fabien were charming and communicative. I have only good memories of my stay here, and hope to come back for longer next time.
