Joao's place is a cozy apartment located only a few minutes by foot from the train station and from the heart of the city. My wife and I were able to access everything by foot within the city. It should be noted however that the apartment is located in/adjacent to the red light district of Geneva for those whom may be sensitive to that. There are a number of brothels within a very short walk and on a Saturday night we were awoken by the sound of people getting sick. The building is also located next to a restaurant, so the common hallway smells a bit. However, the apartment does not smell at all and we were never bothered by anyone in the neighborhood. Also, Joao was always quick to respond to messages and was a pleasant host.
