Our accommodation in Geneva was not very far from the central railway station (Genève-Cornavin) For some, the distance between the station and the apartment may be walkable, but we found it more convenient to take the number 8 bus from the station, especially as we were carrying luggage. The number 8 was not easy to find, as the stop is at the rear of the railway station. The bus to the apartment is travelling in the direction of the OMS, and guests should get off at the Canoniere station. The apartment is around the corner from the bus stop, and there is also a supermarket beside the stop.
The apartment is on the ninth floor, with good views across Geneva. It is very homely, with lots of artefacts and ornaments belonging to the owner placed around the flat. The kitchen area was useful for cooking when we chose to eat in. The bed was comfortable and we did not experience any noise issues. Guests should be aware that there is a communal heating system for the building, and so we were unable to adjust the heating when the weather got cold. The owner provided an additional quilt for the bed. There is a large television, which has access to channels from across Europe, including BBC, ITV and Channel Four. There is also a large outside terrace, which we did not use as for a lot of our stay it was raining. In better weather, the terrace could be nice to sit out and have breakfast. We arrived as the cleaner was finishing cleaning the apartment. She did a very thorough job, and should be commended for her hard work. Once we found the correct bus, we were able to travel easily between the apartment and the city, which has a lot of interesting sights and attractions. In summary, this apartment is a good base for exploring Geneva.
