Maria's place is a great find. It's in the quiet 'quartier' of Saint Jean (I wouldn't describe it as close to the airport...!). There are small supermarkets nearby including Denner and Coop and bus routes into town not too far away, and the district seems to have quite a thriving artist and community scene. As far the apartment itself, it is clean, light, spacious and well-decorated with a comfortable bed and plenty of pillow choice... (big, small, hard, soft!). There are enough kitchen utensils to do some home cooking, though I wouldn't go to Ottolenghi here. PS best coffee around here is 5 minutes walk either to Utopia Coffee or Green Wheels - both well worth checking out.
