This was my second time in Lausanne (for a research stay at UNIL), so I was looking for a quiet place with easy access to public transportation. I was very happy to find this room available! Fred's house is located in the Lavaux region, a few steps away from the vineyards (a must see!), and a trekking route (highly recommended for those who like outdoor activities). This place is a gift of fresh air! The house is close to a train station and a bus stop, so I never had to worry about arriving late at the university. From Lausanne's downtown, it takes a short drive (of about 13 min) to get there. By train, you can easily get to the most popular places (Lausanne, Montreux, Vevey, etc.)... but I particularly enjoyed staying in a less touristy town like this one! If you bring heavy luggage, bear in mind the Swiss hills, but once you get there you won't regret it! ;) Fred will make sure everything's OK (even before the check-in) and that nothing's missing for a pleasant stay. He's very accessible (both in person and by phone) and respectful of your choices (whether you want to share or prefer some privacy). When I arrived, he kindly helped me bring my luggage (since I was arriving late from overseas) and suggested me the best route to the closest grocery store. And if he has some free time, he may even show you the surroundings! He's always willing to give advice and travelling tips whenever you need them. For the check-out, I took an Uber and arrived at Lausanne's train station in a few minutes (so for those who don't bring a car: no worries). The whole place is sparkling clean, with lots of amenities: access to the kitchen, living room, (separated) fridge, washing machine, (super fast) wi-fi, private bathroom, desktop, etc. Everything you need in a comfy house and with the most welcoming family. I was happy to choose this place and I will absolutely stay there again whenever in Switzerland. Merci, Fred !! ¡¡Gracias!!
