This apartment is beautiful and feels like home. The high ceilings are amazing and the location is fantastic. I think that being on the peninsula is the best place to stay in Lyon - both rivers nearby. The only problem was one Saturday night when the upstairs neighbors had a loud party, but the host was very accommodating and responsive, and the following Saturday was completely quiet. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are a couple of nearby restaurants that you can hear from the flat, but I found that to be very minimal as the sound seems far away. This is an urban neighborhood, not the countryside. I definitely recommend.
