The location is wonderful! You're super close to Vieux Lyon and right by the water with a bridge to cross onto the other side. We went during peak summer time when it was really hot, but there was a fan inside the apartment which helped. We also tried opening all the windows and got a very nice breeze coming through, but with the apartment being on the ground floor you get some foot traffic right by the windows and hear people chatting as they passed by. For additional privacy and security, I'd recommend keeping the windows shut or moving the curtains so they covered the open window so people aren't able to see inside.
