We got clear instructions from Alex a day before arrival. The flat was done nicely for us and he had all the house rules printed on a piece of paper. Alex's place is a self-sufficient flat and there's also a common washing machine (coin operated) in the apartment. He has a nice kitchen and all the utensils to cook yourself a lovely meal. The common terrace has great views over Lake Geneva and so has the street leading to his place.
Alex's place has a quaint touch to it. It's nice and cozy. Don't expect a 5-star hotel but if has everything to make you feel right at home. We didn't meet Alex but the way he has done his place makes us believe he is an interesting and adventurous person with a great outlook towards life.
His place located in the heart of Chardonne village -- a famous vineyard in the Swiss Riviera.
Getting there: It's about 600 metres walk from the nearest public transport (Chardonne-Jongny funicular -- the ride on which is a unique experience in itself) and and about 900 metres from the nearest bus stop. It's 10 mins by bus to Vevey train station with excellent connectivity into Montreux (5 mins).
If you'd like an authentic Swiss Riviera feel amidst the vineyards and without burning a hole in your pocket -- Alex's place is perfect for you!
