The place is centrally located with easy access, walking, to most parts of Lyon town. You can take the Rhone express from the Airport to Bellecore and walk to the apt. It is cheaper to buy a return from the ticket machine at the train station. There are several supermarkets to shop for your groceries. I cannot honestly say the apt is quiet but is relative to how sensitive you are to noise, as it located in the city centre. The second bedroom does allow in a humming sound from a nearby vent and may affect those who are sensitive to noise.
