Wow! What a superb apartment! This place is ultra modern, very well equipped, and has an amazing view on lake Leman and the mountains behind it (you can see Vichy and sometimes the “Mont Blanc”). There is a huge glass door that opens on a large patio with a comfortable couch where you can lounge while admiring the view. Our host, Ramon, who owns the apartment, is extremely nice and considerate. We arrived on a Sunday evening, which means that all the stores are closed, but Ramon had stocked the refrigerator with orange juice, milk, and other essentials to help us get settle until the next day. We really appreciated the special attention (thanks again Ramon!).
I was there with my wife and 2 kids (8 and 11) and it was perfect. I probably would not recommend it for toddlers though. This apartment is high-end and definitely not baby-proofed. There are several glass tables with square corners as well as tv and fragile gadgets at a toddler's reach.
I was there to work with some colleagues of the EPFL, which was perfect since the apartment is located right across the street from the EPFL Rolex Learning Center (an interesting “wavy” building that houses a library and lots of empty space for the students to lounge). I only had a 5-minute walk to get to work every morning. It is also a 5-minute walk to the “Pelican” park/beach at the lake where you can swim during the summer. The only downside is that it is somewhat far from downtown and the stores. It is in a very nice residential area but the closest grocery stores (Migros and Denner) are at the EPFL metro station, which is a 10-minute walk from the apartment. However, there are 2 bus lines running close to the apartment so using public transportation is very convenient.
All in all, this apartment is a true gem and our host, Ramon, is the perfect host. I highly recommend it!
