We thought Manuel’s flat is an okay place to stay especially if it is just used as a base to explore Geneva rather than spending time to relax in the flat.
It provides the necessary facilities I.e. good furniture, hot water, good pressure shower, cooking facilities and crockery.
I don’t like to focus on the negatives but felt the flat was rather more tired than the photos suggested especially the bathroom. For us, noise was also an issue and this is out of manuel’s hands but noise reverberates around the flat as it is an old block. We could clearly hear noises from neighbours below, above and next to us, as well as vehicles outside (albeit that was rare during the night).
There were also clumps of hair on the hallway table and floor when we checked in but that is a minor thing and not a huge issue for us.
However, the location is good to get to and from the airport and about 5-8mins to the lake. Although, the tourist stuff is on the other side of the lake, I felt the distance allowed us to explore other areas of Geneva.
As mentioned, good place to stay in as a base but i feel it is not a place I could stay and relax in for too long.
