The location is great, and it is one of the more affordable places near Lausanne center. Great bars and restaurants are close by, and it is walkable to the train and metro stations.
Given its location, parking is hard to come by, and only short-duration (1h) or paid parking (2h max) is available on the street.
The essentials are foreseen for medium-term living, although the kitchen has limited cooking supplies.
As kitchen and bathroom are shared, they tend to be a bit messy or dirty, depending on who is staying there. At full occupation internet is spotty - but otherwise it is pretty good.
Unfortunately there is no laundry machine available, so a laundromat should be used. There is also no drying rack in the apartment, so I used the furniture to dry my clothes from.
