This was truly the best AirBnB experience that I’ve had. Jean-Philippe and Xuong were incredible hosts. I was traveling with my best friend from college and frankly we were a little nervous as this was the first Airbnb of our trip but it was the best start to the trip. First of all, our flights were a MESS and Jean Philippe was incredibly responsive and accommodating. He made checking in a breeze, and totally effortless. Took off so much stress. The place is adorable. It is exactly what the pictures represent — a great space, and the room upstairs was very private. The room was a little warm initially but once we got the fans going in there it was fine. They have plenty of fans and a mini AC unit so once we got all of those running it was fine. The building itself takes a code to get into and another code to get the elevator to go up to their floor (plus a key to get into the apt of course) so we felt extremely safe. They have a nice living space downstairs that we lounged in a bit and they also have a fridge out in the living room so that was nice to have to. The location is also perfect. About 10 min, beautiful easy walk across the river to the old city center and shopping and carnivals and things, a few blocks away from a huge food market, and right in the middle of a ton of delicious local restaurants. 3 min walk to the train (and Starbucks, and Lauderee, the French macaron store — for those who care about those things). 5 min walk to bus station where group tours for day trips pick up. Truly amazing location.
Okay. The hosts. They were the BEST. Upon arrival, Jean Philippe gave my friend and I the most extensive list of recommendations. It was amazing!!! We really only chose Geneva because we thought it was beautiful but had no idea what to do there and he gave us so many suggestions that our days were totally packed!! He knows the city super well and gave us a map and diagrammed where to go and was just amazing. Very welcoming, extremely helpful, and again, always responsive. By about day 3 of our stay we asked the hosts if it was possible to do a wash and we were taken aback by how accommodating and helpful Xuong was with that. He washed, dried, and folded our clothes, and left them neatly in a shopping bag outside of our door. We were so grateful!!!
Overall, really the greatest experience staying here. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
