As a student in Geneva I booked this apartment for a weekend with very mixed feelings due to the variety of comments. So I’ll try to briefly resume our experience:
- yes some parts of the apartment (e.g. heaters or lamps) could need a small brush up because they were a bit dusty but the essentials (kitchen, toilet, bed, bathroom) were very clean
- yes the furniture is more wore down than depicted on the pictures
- yes you probably won’t cook a five course menu because the kitchen equipment is rather limited
But:
- check in and check out is very easy
- the kitchen equipment was absolutely sufficient to cook easy meals like pasta, rice etc.
- the location of the apartment is a very big advantage since it is only 10 min walk from the lake
So all in all you probably won’t find a better apartment in a comparable location for the same price in Geneva. If you want more comfort you have to pay more. I think it is suitable for travelers, students etc. with a rather limited budget to stay over a week end. I booked the apartment for a second time and I don’t regret it. Hope I could give you a better impression :)
