This place was pretty solid. I'm sort of split on this review so I figured I'd lay out the pro's and con's of staying here.
The Good:
1. First of all, the location is outstanding and truly unbeatable for Montreaux. It is a 3 minute walk from the train station, and a 6 minute walk to the shoreline where everything is going on including the Jazz Festival.
2. The price was extremely cheap compared to staying at any of the hotels that I could find in the area.
3. It was "tidy". See my comment below for sleeping arrangements and lived in status, but the place was in good condition when I arrived.
4. The owner was quick to respond to my messages via AirBNB which was nice since I didn't have a cell phone and we could not meet when I arrived.
The Bad:
1. This is certainly more of a "lived in" AirBNB rental compared to many other homes I've stayed in. What I mean by this is that the apartment is clearly used very frequently by the owner, as evidenced by the random items in the refrigerator, the shoes/clothing in the apartment, and the dirty laundry in the laundry bin. While this certainly not an "issue", it is somewhat different than units that have some of this removed for your stay.
2. The preparation of the unit was not ideal. For starters, the bed didnt have anything other than a sheet, a single comforter, and a single very small pillow laid out on it. Additionally, it is important to make sure to communicate up front if there is more than one of you. The reason for this is that the second bedroom was not made up ahead of time (I originally wasn't going to have anyone join me but almost had a last second visitor), but the second bed is only made in advance upon request. Lastly the jacuzzi was not prepared ahead of time, and the owner chargers a cleaning fee for this which was not advertised.
3. While the description of the unit is not inaccurate, its hard to truly understand this set up from what is described/shown. Basically this unit is located beneath a garage that leads to the street on Montreaux. It does have windows facing the outside in the back, but because this unit is literally underneath a garage of a building, it doesnt have the cleanest/best smelling air circulating through and is a tad musty. Also, there aren't really any bedrooms, as they are all contained within 1 larger loft room, therefore having more than 2 people staying here would really be pushing it given that there is almost no privacy.
Overall I probably would consider staying here again just for myself because of the price/location, but if you are on vacation and not actively cutting down costs there are much better alternatives elsewhere
