The booking process for the apartment was quick and easy and Mauricio is such a perfect host. He kept in touch with us before our visit and was very helpful and accommodating in allowing us to gain access to his apartment early and to leave later than the designated times. He also kept in contact during our stay, checking to see if we needed anything and that we were ok.
The apartment is lovely, very cosy and warm and has everything you could possibly need. The bathroom is a good size with a big bathtub and shower over. There was also fresh towels and hairdryer to use. The other room has a huge comfortable bed, two seater sofa and a table with two chairs. There is also a large tv, stereo and radio. The kitchen is incredibly well-stocked with oven, microwave, kettle, toaster, washing machine and all kinds of household items (dishes, pots, pans, wine glasses, cups, coffee-making, etc etc). There is also WiFi available.
The apartment is in an excellent location, close to Cornavin station (approx 5 min walk) and the same again to the lake. There are many places to eat in the area, our favourite was ‘Parfums de Beyrouth’.
The apartment is in the red light district but it doesn’t feel uncomfortable or sleazy, there were families walking around and people in and out of the shops and restaurants. The apartment block itself is very clean, secure and quiet. Thanks Mauricio
