Super cute studio near a main street and one of the major Geneva train stations, but set back so it’s very quiet. The host is super nice and responded to all questions promptly. The apartment was clean and secure. We loved it here!

Loved the location
This accommodation was everything we wanted and needed. The location was perfect for us. Bus transportation was just steps away. With windows on two sides we enjoyed Geneva’s fresh air both day and night. The location is incredibly quiet. There is no problem sleeping with windows open. We may very well return to Geneva in the future and would likely stay here again if Helena will have us.

No fan of this host
Geneva hit 90 degrees each of the five early September days we visited. The afternoon my husband and I arrived, the apartment was unbearably hot. Of course, there was no air-conditioning, but we expected at least a fan, so we wrote immediately about the need for one. The host's responses to our repeated requests were ridiculous: it was cool last week; just open the windows; maybe the concierge can find you an old one and bring it to you (he never did); buy your own fan; fans don't help anyway. Blinds down and windows open, we suffered through three hot sweaty nights filled with the noise of traffic, ambulances, dogs, etc. Host finally brought a fan by on day 4 after she returned from her holiday abroad. With it, the last two nights were comfortable enough to sleep. It would have been so easy to make our entire stay more enjoyable. We requested recompense, but did not get it. Her excuse was that there was no way she could have known it was going to be hot. This is unacceptable since Geneva had already had record summer heat, and, in previous reviews, guests had suggested the need for the fan we had to beg for.

Spacious studio in Champel
In terms of size and general comfort, this is an impressive studio apartment. The apartment is generally well equipped and with a compact but functional kitchen; is set well back from Route De Malagnou and therefore quiet; and has a lovely balcony. The public transport links are excellent and the apartment is within easy walking distance from major supermarkets. The apartment did get a bit warm during the recent spell of hot weather in Geneva, so a fan would have been a nice (and cheap) inclusion. That said, the only significant demerit of the apartment is that the washing machine listed in the inclusions is not in fact in the apartment. Rather, there is a laundry room in the building and to use the washing machine you need to get in touch with the (very nice) concierge every time you want to use it. Notably, there is, what for us, was a totally redundant bidet in the bathroom. Were this to be replaced with a washing machine, I would then consider the apartment to be outstanding.

What a beautiful stay in a well located and charming flat in Geneva. Transportation was very easy to Cornivan Station, and access to great locations in and around Geneva were easy to navigate. This was my 2nd time staying at this beautiful flat, and it was just as charming if not more so with the beautiful fall colors!

Wonderful place in Geneva!
Helena’s place was perfect for my stay in Geneva. It was well equipped and very comfortable and relaxing and close to everything I wanted to be near during my stay. Helena was very responsive to my questions and requests and I felt completely at home for the month I spent there. I was delighted to find that from the far end of the car park in front of the building you can enter the Contamines park and there are lovely paths through the woods so you can have a very pleasant walk to the Coop grocery store or other places. I hope to return soon!

Wonderful Experience
I really enjoyed staying in this apartment for the following reasons. 1. The location was great since it was about a two or three minute walk to the bus stop and about a five minute walk to Migros, a grocery store that had everything I needed (I'm on a restricted diet). And I was always about a 10 minute bus ride from anything major. When I had to travel a couple of times to the United Nations area (in what appears to be one of the most northern areas of the city), it was only about 35 minutes door to door. 2. The apartment was quite large for a studio. My wife and I had ample space for all of our suitcases and belongings, and more than enough space to hang up coats and clothes. And the shelving cases are genius; they allowed my wife to easily organize small items, like makeup, hair brushes, etc. 3. The apartment was updated, like its bathrooms, and I never felt that I was staying somewhere "cheap." 4. The kitchen was adequate for my needs (European kitchens tend to be small), and it was better than staying in a tiny hotel room/kitchenette. 5. The property manager responded to all of my inquiries in a timely manner. In short, I may have to return to Geneva in several months, and if so, I will inquire into this apartment again.

Adequate Apartment
This is a quite adequate apartment located very close to public transportation in a safe neighborhood, although walking to many places, including the historic areas of Geneva, is perfectly possible. Two groceries and a wonderful patisserie are only about five minutes walk away if you turn to your right leaving the building. It should be noted that entry is at the back end of the building, a fact not immediately apparent as you approach along the Rue Malagnou. Information and instructions are always a very good thing to have for visitors to a new apartment, but there were none here. Although we were ultimately able to familiarize ourselves with how things worked both in the apartment and in the building, the advantage of knowing this from the very beginning is obvious. The door lock can be a bit tricky. First of all, there are three possible places to insert the key, so you have to figure out which one to use. The mechanism itself is a little balky, but if you pull gently towards you when locking or unlocking the door, things are a bit easier. Also be careful to align the key in a perfectly vertical position when removing it from the lock – if it’s even slightly off the vertical, it will not release from the lock mechanism. Shades can be lowered or raised using the hand cranks in each corner of the room, but on warm nights you’ll have to decide if you want darkness or air since the fully deployed shades make opening the windows useless. There is no fan available, and, as is true in much of Europe at the moment, no air conditioning. You will, at times, hear the upstairs neighbors. Rue Malagnou is a very busy street. Traffic sounds will decrease for most of the night but pick up again significantly starting around 5 AM. The furnishings are good, the bed comfortable, and there’s plenty of closet space. Both the kitchen and bathroom are adequately equipped. We did not receive the Geneva Transport cards which would have allowed free access to public transportation, although it was our understanding that short-term renters are supposed to automatically be provided with them.

Spotless apartment in a great location
Great location with easy access to bus lines and walkable (about one mile) to city center. The apartment was spotless and has a well equipped kitchen. A couple of things to note: the picture on Homeaway shows curtains on the windows - there are none so it is like living in a fish bowl at night as all exterior walls are glass-lined. Also the listing shows a washer/dryer. There may be one in the building but not in the unit. There are no instructions/guidance for guests as we have found in virtually every other Homeaway/Airbnb property we have stayed at. With that said I thank Helena for her willingness to come over on short notice when we had a problem with the door key upon arrival. Fortunately I figured it out in time to call her back before she left her home to assist us.

Lovely, Comfortable, Spacious, Quiet Geneva Apartment
Thank you, Helena, for a wonderful stay in your lovely, comfortable, spacious and quiet apartment! Everything we needed was there, everything worked, and the furnishings are restfully elegant. The mattress is the most comfortable one we ever slept on -- better than our own at home! -- and the whole place is roomy and light-filled. The apartment is located close enough to the center of Vieille Ville that we could walk to the opera house in only 20 minutes. Helena is a kind and generous hostess, very responsive and helpful. We would stay here again in a heartbeat, and will always stay with Helena if we come back to Geneva. Once again, thank you Helena!
