Exactly as advertised – a spacious apartment with old Geneva charm and only a two -minute walk to the lake!
This 4th floor apartment was perfect for our travelling family – an older couple with an adult son – as the rather large living room was a completely separate room, with a very comfortable sofabed. Unlike other places that we have rented in Geneva in the past, this apartment has a fully-equipped kitchen, which is large, airy and bright. Every possible electrical device and gadget is available, including all the food basics you will need to get you started. The kitchen is also very large for Geneva standards, with room aplenty to have dinner with 8 of your friends at the enormous kitchen table, or to simply settle in with a book on the leather couch or chair which adds character to the room. Our bedroom was also a good size, with ample closet space to hang clothes and empty drawers to hold all our personal items. As this is a corner unit, both the living room and the bedroom have balconies, one of which is large enough for a picnic table and chairs!
The location is fantastic: Not only can you walk with your bags from the train station to the apartment, but there are also 2 different buses that run every few minutes a very short distance away, as well as 3 different grocery stores and a pharmacy! A traveller’s dream location! And while it is smack in the middle of a very lively, vibrant part of Geneva, it happens to be located on a relatively quiet street with little traffic!
Best of all, the apartment is only a 5 minute walk from the local city “Mouettes” – this is the form of public transportation that the Genevois use to get to the other side of the lake - small motorboats running every 10 minutes that cost the price of a bus ticket!!
And to top it all off, no problems with entry and exit. Your friendly host, Jacques, will take care of everything and ensure that you easily gain access to the unit, and he is readily available for any questions or help that you may need. We loved our one-month stay there and would gladly rent again!
