The apartment was excellent---very clean and nicely furnished---and in a great location for the conference I was attending at EPFL in Lausanne.

When I arrived, the key was not in the location indicated by the Rental Guide, which was frustrating because my students and I had just arrived from a transatlantic flight and we were tired. I had a hard time contacting Stephane because of difficulties finding and accessing wifi with my US carrier. (The Coop down the street has wifi, but it must send you an SMS for access.) When I did get in touch with him, he informed me that someone else was in the apartment, and it would not be ready until 3pm. We eventually got into the apartment in the afternoon. I suspect the ordeal was mostly miscommunication and bad luck. However, I recommend contacting Stephane the day before arrival to make sure that the apartment is ready.

Overall, I would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone visiting Lausanne.
