I lived in Geneva for a couple of years in the 2000s. Chene Bourg was not an area that was familiar to me. But it proved to be a good base for our recent vacation. There is a convenient train station that takes you to Eaux Vives in one stop (and hence within 8-10 minute walk from the lake). We enjoyed spending hot days at the newly expanded beach/pick in area in Eaux Vives. Serge and Nadine’s home is a comfortable, charming place. They live nearby and are very responsive if you need anything. We enjoyed having an outdoor seating area, as well as the sun room and the swimming pool. It was also nice to have cooling at night (there is a mini-split air conditioner in each living room, which cools each level reasonably well if you sleep with bedroom doors open. I would certainly stay here on a future visit. Our visit was 12 days in duration and we definitely spent considerable time at the rental home. Perhaps if you were visiting geneva for a short touristic visit, you might want to be somewhere closer to the center. But for a longer vacation, we enjoyed being on the outskirts and having more space for living.
