Iris was an exceptional host! She was very responsive to my messages prior to my arrival, and most certainly made me feel welcome in her home when I arrived. During my stay, Iris was very accommodating, often going out of her way to make her place a home away from home for me. While the location of the house is a fair distance from the city centre by Geneva standard, the tram stop is very close by. Getting to and from town is extremely easy, and Cornavin (the main transport hub in town) can be reached in less than 30 minutes.

The room itself was clean, warm and comfortable. A full breakfast (continental style, with the addition of cheese, fruit and yogurt) was provided each morning, which was also appreciated. There were two other travellers staying in the house and the three of us shared the same bathroom, but that did not cause any real issue (as far as I know…) When Iris was at home, she would even find time to chat with me and let me practise my French with her. In essence, I could not have asked for anything more!
