Martine was a wonderful host who made me feel very welcome. Regretfully, I do not speak French. Martine kindly, spoke to me in English, not only helping me to negotiate the city and it's transport system, but also to understand the things that I observed. I spent my days out and about, leaving quite early some days and returning very late. Martine accommodated my comings and goings graciously.
The apartment was in an area of older buildings very close to the Central Railway Station, the architecture has marvellous character and charm. I enjoyed staying where locals live their lives. The apartment building had a large entrance, with bikes stacked at the base of the stairs. As the staircase swept upwards, large heavy wooden doors gave access to each apartment.
Martine's apartment is lovely. My room was light and spacious, with a comfortable bed, good Wifi, tv, chairs and a desk for my use. The shower was hot and the bathroom clean and perfect. Breakfast and warm drinks were much appreciated as was the ability to wash and dry my clothes.
Martine helped me to feel comfortable and safe in a city that was new and unknown, as a result, my stay in Geneva has been a very positive experience.
