This is easily among the top 3 Airbnb places I have stayed at: neat, clean, lovely concept, not cluttered and I personally loved the location.
About the location: There are different comments to be read about Paquis, but to me, the area is just fine. Yes, slightly less clean, a bit raunchy (a few streets house the ladies of the night), but at the same time it is lively, there are grocery shops open on Sunday (miracle for Geneva) and I always felt safe. Not to mention the closeness of the lake.
The apartment was my home for 10 weeks. I honestly have only positive words about this place. It comes highly recommended.
My only side-note would be to agree in advance what exactly is expected at the end of the stay in terms of how the apartment should be left. I merely say this because, apparently, the lady who cleans the apartment had made a comment that "she was disappointed because she expected that it would be cleaned." I admit, this was not a pleasant thing to hear because... I have stayed in many Airbnbs and have always made sure to take good care of the places. When checking out, I never leave a mess, throw the garbage, pick up everything, leave no dirty dishes. And until this stay, this has always been what was expected of me. My reasoning is that, whenever a tenant leaves, surely the place needs to have a more thorough cleaning before the next one checks in.
Anyways, this is in no way a negative comment on the apartment. Just a note to clarify expectations. The place is indeed great.
