If you are going to Lausanne, stay at Mirko's. It is centrally located near top tourist spots and an easy subway ride to main train station where you can go anywhere on the Lake. The bedroom and living room are roomy. The place is nicely decorated and very comfortable. All the basics are there for cooking and he is very generous with his stuff. I loved his activity guide. We ate at some real local places that were terrific and not touristy. Mirko was so nice and greeted me when i got in. So friendly and a quick communicator. The apartment is also a very good value. I can't say enough!
