First of all, this is not a two bedroom apartment… The pictures are deceiving and show a bed with different covers from different sides, but it’s the same one bedroom. The second « bedroom » is a living room/dining room with a table & chairs and an actual fridge. There is no real sofa bed either: you just fold inwards the back of sofa you see on the picture, throw a sheet on it and that’s it.
Unlike other reviews we saw before booking that mentioned cleanliness, we found that the place had not been cleaned properly because there was human hair literally everywhere: on the floor, in the bathtub, in the bed, on the cleaning sponges, etc. The sheets had obviously been cleaned but were also covered with hair so we slept on top of the comforter.
We also didn’t use the kitchen because the dishes and cutlery were greasy and dirty with food crust still on them (we could tell someone had made an omelet and had hastily cleaned the spatulas) and hair and crumbs in the cutlery drawer. There were even crumbs still on the tablecloth and the floor was sticky in places.
The place itself felt more broken down than in the pictures: band-aids were used to keep drawers shut, lamps and cupboards were broken, shutters were missing, etc.
Some hosts use cheap hand soap (which is fine) but this host actually provided broken bits of used soap bars (maybe left by previous guests?), which reminded me of my past experiences in youth hostels…
Considering the other reviews, we were surprised by this very negative experience. Had we not been traveling with tired kids, we would have tried to find another place to stay.
In our experience, this place is far from a “Paradise in Genève”.
