Excellent stay! Beautiful city! Lovely hosts!
Location: It is in the heart of Geneva (although we've come to find that Geneva isn't a very large city). It is 5 minutes walking from the train station, 5 minutes walking from the bus station, and 5 minutes from Lake Leman (Geneva)! Couldn't have asked for a better location.
Communication: They were so easy to contact and readily responding to their airbnb messaging well before arrival and throughout our stay. It really made us feel like we had somebody around to help us if we needed it. They gave instructions so specific and thorough (ahead of time) on how to get to their apartment that even though I forgot to download a map from the train station I was still able to find it!
Living Space: The room was large and smelled very clean, as was the bathroom. The toilet is in a separate bathroom down the hall, but that didn't bother us. The bed was comfortable and the TV had multiple different language channels including English and Mandarin. The shower was hot (which was much appreciated when we came back from being soaked in icy rain in the mountains). We didn't miss a thing from what we'd normally have in a hotel room. Jean-Philippe and Xuong stayed upstairs during our stay and we didn't even see them. It almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. Sadly we didn't get to see more of their adorable and super friendly dog either!
My boyfriend and had a short stay in Geneva and we were arriving late on a train from Florence. Xuong very kindly stayed up and gave us a very warm welcome on our first night. He advised us on where to find good food, how to get to the airport, how to get to the bus stop and had essentially an answer for every question we had. We went to Chamonix-Mont Blanc from Geneva as a day trip and unfortunately it was raining the entire time and all of our clothes were soaked prior to us needing to fly out the next day. They went above and beyond and let us use their dryer so that we would not have to carry wet clothes home to the states.
We're sad we were only able to stay in Geneva for such a short time. We look forward to returning and we'd definitely choose to stay at Jean-Philippe and Xuong's place again if we were to return.
