The hosts were very helpful and in fact Slim Anne's husband came to the station to fetch us and took me around town as well to give a brief introduction to the city and also showed the important spots. He was also kind enough to give a drop back at the time of leaving. In addition many ideas for sightseeing and how to get around the place were shared by them. This made one feel comfortable and relaxed which allowed one to really enjoy the stay in Montreux
