This "penthouse" apt was wonderful! We arrived from the USA hoping things looked as nice as they did on-line and we were pleasantly surprised that it was even nicer than we expected. The location is outstanding: everything is within 5 minutes: metro, restaurants, bars, cafe, all in an outstanding neighborhood where you can walk to the lakefront (spectacular) in less than 10 minutes or take the metro to the Gare in no time and be anywhere you want in Switzerland by train. The balcony was particularly a great feature: looking out over the lake and mountains was a daily treat. I would recommend a stay in Lausanne to anyone and would stay in this apt if we return.
