We spent 6 nights at Frederique’s place in Lausanne. Frédérique was very nice and communicative. Her apartment is on the bottom floor of a building with 7 other apartments. She appears to have sole use of a beautiful and lush garden, which Was great for my kids. When we rented her home, she left to stay on a boat on the lake.
As you are in Europe, you need to adjust your expectations for an Airbnb. This is not an investment property that is dedicated to catering to visitors; Rather this is Frederique’s home. Think of it as staying at your distant Aunt’s place. The furnishings and amenities are dated but in adequate condition. The two bedrooms are really only sufficient for children.
Location: there are buses that run regularly that you can catch to go into and out of Lausanne city center but you have to walk up and down a very steep hill to reach the train station. This can be a pain if you have lots of luggage so you may need to taxi or Uber when you arrive. Also note then Coop grocery store that is close by is closed on Sunday. You will have to catch a bus into town to go to the grocery in the train station.
Overall is was a fine stay.
