There are many things to love about Fiona and her place:
* It is located in what looks like a private park and is very quiet - once you walk thru the gate at the street, you cannot see any streets or roads, even from the 2nd story window
* It is very nicely sized and appointed and the bed is super comfortable
* Proximity to the airport, UN and other international agencies - the #5 bus line stops almost right at her driveway and runs straight to the airport
* Good hot water in the shower
* A friendly dog on site
* A good value for the money based on all of the above (consider the Intercontinental hotel is across the street and runs 300€/night!)
* Fiona was great to communicate with and, despite being on holiday herself, was very responsive and helpful
Just three minor reasons that this wasn't a perfect stay:
* I experienced temporary evening infestations of winged ants in the shower around dusk. Fiona said this happens around this time of the year and she hadn't put out the bug traps yet so this isn't a permanent or ongoing issue. The apartment was otherwise spotless and well-kept.
* All of Europe was experiencing a heat wave and it was about 35C in Geneva. The apartment does not have air conditioning (which is OK) but it also made it difficult to fall asleep as the apartment was /hot/. The weather is not Fiona's fault of course, but be advised the apartment gets very warm if it is hot outside. A small fan would have made it much more bearable to blow cool air in from the large windows in the evenings.
* The door to the flat was difficult/noisy to lock from the outside as it required pulling the door very tightly shut to get the key to insert/turn.
The pros greatly outweigh the cons - I would not hesitate to stay here again in the future - it's a great airbnb and a great host!
