I agree with the other reviews. The apartment was exactly as advertised, and quiet as a tomb compared to my current one in Paris. Clementine could not have been more helpful, giving generously of her time to solve all my problems with car, train, and post office. Drivers beware: the only parking in this neighborhood is extremely expensive. I did find free parking along the Rhone near Perrache train station -- a subway and bus ride away.
