Abdou's place was perfectly located only 1 min from Plain de Plainpalais, with lots of restaurants and bars in the neighbourhood (there was no noise though, because the apartment did not face the street, so it was always calm and quiet). His place was clean, and perfect for a few days stay in Geneva while finding my feet and something more long term.
Abdou was extremely hospitable, and stayed until midnight to greet me personally at his studio apartment after my early afternoon arrival into Geneva was delayed by 10+ hours (due to flight issues). He was understanding of the situation and very accommodating (Thanks Abdou!).
