Ellen's place is a little calm oasis in the quiet part of Paquis, very close to the lake, tram stops Butini & Mole (UN in close proximity) and bus 1 & 25. It is an almost-ground floor apartment, still a little elevated above street level (so privacy is preserved), not exactly light-filled, but the space available is utilized optimally - and in an interesting, unconventional way that felt very welcoming and stylish: a creative space :) There are lots of fascinating books, including about the history of Geneva and its different quarters, a super comfortable bed, very nicely decorated (understated) living space and a huge desk/workspace just next to the well-equipped and organized kitchen - perfect for home office purposes (and the late night snackers among us...). Ellen was a very kind host, straight-forward and responsive in her communication with me, and her space felt very much like home. I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again! Thank you, Ellen! :)
