Christine’s flat truly exceeded my expectations. As a regular in Geneva I have had many opportunities to stay in various Airbnb’s. This recent experience was my first time staying in Christine’s apartment and it won’t be my last. This was without question the most comfortable stay I’ve had in an Airbnb. The apartment is centrally located between Rive and Eaux-Vives, the best part of the city to stay in whether a tourist or here on business. The surrounding area is populated with restaurants, shopping, banks and an amazing farmers market in Wednesday’s and Saturday’s just one block away. You also have easy access to practically every bus line in the city.
Prior to my arrival in Geneva Christine was absolutely wonderful in making sure everything was prepared and communicating to make sure all requests/needs were met. Instructions were easy to follow and any questions were answered in a very timely manner. Access was very simple even tho Christine was out of town when I arrived in Geneva, all thanks to the thought put into the instructions provided. Once I accessed the unit I was so impressed to see how much time and effort was put into the space. The unit is organized, clean, and completely updated with new appliances and an HVAC system. I had all the necessary items to cook, make coffee, and store groceries. There is a modern stove, dishwasher, refrigerator and appliances to go with it. As you enter the living area you have a comfortable sofa, chair and flat screen TV with adjacent instructions to set up internet (which was a very good speed). Next to the living room you have a lovely terrace to enjoy morning coffee or that crisp fresh Swiss air. The master bedroom is spacious with the most comfortable bed I’ve slept on in an Airbnb. The second bedroom had a single bed and while the bedroom was smaller it still serves its purpose (note that I did not use this bedroom). The beds were professionally made unlike many of the experiences I’ve had in the past with Airbnb and resembled that of a 5 star hotel. The rooms were quiet at night and dark providing for deep and comfortable sleep.
The bathroom was comfortable and shower had great water pressure. All basic amenities were included and the towels were larger than standard. There is also a really nice warming rack you can turn on to heat your towels before hopping into the shower. Once you’re ready to replace towels there is a new washer/dryer with ample space to get towels and clothing cleaned.
All in all, this was simply a fantastic stay. Now I just have to finalize dates for my next trip to Geneva so I can make sure to book Christines place again!
