Wonderful place! I think Anne & Slims is exactly the kind of experience Airbnb is all about.
They are wonderful hosts- excellent contact from day one, very helpful on arrival (especially as we turned up a couple of hours early due to a mix up with our flight/ train!), lots of tips on what to see and help with anything we required. And of course there's that view.... Wow!
The room is just as pictured- you can see the stunning lake from your bed, everything is very clean and they have both heating and cooling available. The room stayed surprisingly cool during the 30+ degree days, without us even turning on the air conditioner! Anne & Slim prepared a beautiful breakfast for us in the private dining room (again with the lake view) each day, made from seasonal fruits from the area.
If you are visiting Montreux, our recommendations are:
* look into getting a Swiss travel pass as the trains are quite expensive (in comparison to Australia, perhaps not elsewhere!)
* Gruyere village is absolutely gorgeous to visit!
* make sure you visit the Lavaux region- just a short train ride away, and spectacular scenery/ wines!
* Montreux lake is perfect for a summer dip when it's too hot!
* have a picnic and some champagne on the beautiful balcony and watch the sunset :)
Thanks Anne and Slim for your kind hospitality- I do hope we will be back one day!
