We had a great stay at Abel’s place. We stayed in May 2019, and the backyard and patio were under construction and unusable. This is clearly stated in the listing, so we weren’t surprised when we got there. It did not take away from our experience at all. We had our own private patio with a table and some chairs to enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Geneva. As stated in the listing, all common areas in the house are shared, including bathrooms, shower, kitchen, and cinema room. This did not bother us at all either, as the other guests were very friendly and easy to coordinate with. I would definitely stay at Abel’s house again. The views and location were incredible!
