Having never been to Geneva, my mother, two sisters, and I were a little anxious about staying away from the city center. But Nadia & Serge's villa ended up being an ideal home(-away-from-home) base for our Swiss adventure: comfortable beds, well-appointed kitchen, great views from the balcony, a refreshing pool, quiet neighborhood, and a neighborhood cat to boot.
Chene-Bourg itself had enough restaurants and grocers to be quite convenient, and the train & tram lines, just five to ten minutes away and frequent at all times of day, brought the rest of the city and lake to within easy access with little planning needed, from Geneve's lakefront all the way to Lausanne.
Last but not least, Nadia & Serge were kind and welcoming, accessible, helpful with local tips and information, and made our stay worry-free and fully supported.
Overall, this proved to be a perfect location for visiting Geneva.
