The studio is in an absolutely wonderful neighborhood. It is classic Old Town -- exactly what you would imagine Geneva to be! Within a few steps you have the best shopping and easy access to public transit and supermarkets (great for the fully functional kitchen). Easy to find food and extremely safe feeling environment. I walked to/from train in 10 minutes. I was also able to walk to lake within 5 minutes, and then along the lake to UN in under 1 hour through the botanic gardens (beautiful!)
The studio itself is even better in person. Roomy, clean, tasteful decorated, and has all the amenities needed (from washing machine and hair dryer to full kitchen). It does have stairs (no lift) but it is truly manageable and in exchange you get all the charms of an old, classic building. To get to the studio there is a cobblestone path that has a slope but I was able to do it with a suitcase no problem. Again, this is Old Town!
Philipe is a wonderful host. He greeted me and patiently answered all my questions. Extremely responsive and friendly.
I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed staying here.
