Van's apartment is very conveniently located next to the Cornavin Train Station. (don't worry, you don't hear the trains at all) It is within a comfortable walking distance to the lake and Old Town. Van's communication before and during our stay was SUPERB! He sent a wealth of information about the area, which we found very useful. The apartment is a little outdated, with mismatched bed linen and threadbare towels. The bedlinen and towels were clean, but the apartment could do with a spring clean. I did take photos of a few untidy/dirty things and sent them to Van. He immediately suggested that he sends his cleaning team in again to rectify the issues, but it would have happened on Christmas Day, so I declined the offer. Overall, we didn't spent much time in the apartment, so it suited our needs. The pricing over the time period we used the apartment was the same price as we would have paid for a family room (3 sleeper) at the nearby hotel. In hindsight, I think it might have been a better bet for us as the hotel also included breakfast.
