Noisy, hot, overpriced and NOT recommended
This spartan, soulless apartment is exactly as illustrated in the photographs; it has the bare necessities
It is close to the railway station, in fact, directly across the road, and as such, IS very noisy; the only way to reduce noise at night, is to close all the windows, which in July, makes the heat unbearable; either way, sleep is difficult (the portable air conditioner, listed in the apartments contents, was not present on arrival – it was delivered after being requested; however, it required a window to be left open for venting and was, overall, totally inadequate.)
The check in process was irregular. Met by a gentleman who spoke little English or French (in French speaking Switzerland) we were “introduced” to the apartment and then copies of identity papers were demanded of us (e.g. drivers licence/passport). This was an unusual request, not typical of air B and B and although some explanation was subsequently given (about a “new” city regulation that had recently been instituted) we had not been warned of this and were not comfortable about it; we were, however, in no position to argue and had to comply.
As above – NOT recommended
