The good:
- Location: view of the lake, easy to get to public transport, nice neighborhood
- Cute balcony overlooking the lake
- Two bedrooms
- Parking spot included
The bad:
- Inaccurate listing: the listing stated three beds and a couch. Reality: Two beds (one double, one “full) and one couch
- No WIFi: and it was not stated in the listing description as is common (and reasonable to expect in 2022), especially of a ~250/night (with taxes and fees) listing
- Lack of basic maintenance: peeling wallpaper and paint, stained carpets, and cleanliness was not to the standard of the cost, even in a great location.
- Apartment was not ready at check-in. Admittedly, we asked to check in an hour early, which they could understandably not accommodate, however, when we returned at the designated check in time the unit was still not ready and we had to wait in the rain an additional 10 minutes including multiple calls to the management company.
My family (3 adults and 1 tween) enjoyed our time in Lausanne but we were somewhere between disappointed and underwhelmed with this place.
