Pros:
- Great value. I couldn’t find anything as big with this price in Lausanne close to metro stops.
- Great location. Super close to a metro station, two stops away from Flon. Although note that the metro is not very frequent over the weekend or late in the evening.
- Groceries and other stores nearby.
- Great view from the balcony.
- Great communication. Margaux was very helpful, and even gave me the original price when the price went up.
Cons:
- When I asked Margaux about trash, she said she normally “allows” the use of one trash bag per week, but since we have a baby, we can use two. I understand that garbage bags are taxed in Lausanne, but still, we were not going to use 10 trash bags ( we ended up using two anyways), so I didn’t appreciate the notion of allowing certain number of trash bags.
- Like many other places in Lausanne, the interior is pretty old, and not remodeled.
- The dishes were not very clean. I think the previous guest just put some dirty dishes along with the clean dishes.
- The kitchen is not very well equipped, and pretty basic. It was lacking a proper stove.
- The towels were old and in dark colors. They should have been replaced, ideally with white towels.
- We were in Lausanne during a very hot period, and it got pretty uncomfortable during the nights. A fan would have been nice.
