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.

Beloved home on Rte de Malagnou

This was my second stay at this central, serene home in Geneva. The home is between two of the best neighborhoods in Geneva — Champel and Eaux-Vives. The window light is stunning, the chance to have coffee on the balcony is unbelievably peaceful, and access to any part of central Geneva is easy by foot or by bus. I dearly love this place and am sad to say goodbye, but I would love to stay again soon and would highly encourage anyone coming to Geneva to stay here.

A haven of calm in a beautiful city

The apartment is a 15 min walk or 5 min bus ride to the lake, bus stops virtually outside the apartment. Number 25 The apartment is very clean and beautifully decorated. It’s extremely comfortable with a balcony to sit on for meals or drinks which overlooks glorious trees. Helena our host could not have been more helpful. Very responsive to communication. There is a shop opposite which seems to be open 24 hours and a fantastic restaurant called Coco - expensive compared to the UK but the food was top notch. We loved Geneva, we loved the apartment.

Good stay

The apartment was very nice with lots of light and was comfortable. I loved that it was set back from the street and there were nice trees around it. It was very hot so we slept with all the windows open which was nice because the birds sang so beautifully every morning. The day after we arrived, I went and got a fan and that made it much more comfortable. I left it there so others can use it too. The location is good and once I learned my way around, I found a big grocery nearby that simplified preparing meals. It’s a ten minute walk to the Old Town and fifteen minutes to the lake. We were so fortunate that there was a music festival going on in the Old Town while we were there.

In Geneva to meet our first grandchild

The Orion was very comfortable, clean, quiet and well appointed. It is also very well located in regard to bus and train stops, allowing for us to get to our daughter’s apartment (and many other places) quickly and conveniently. We enjoyed having it as a place to retreat to at the end of the day and have a leisurely morning routine. Mage bakery and Coop grocery store gave us great options for eating “at home!”

Lovely apartment in great location

We were visiting Geneva to help our daughter and son-in-law with their newborn. (Their apartment was a 5 minute walk so the location was ideal.) Location also ideal because it close to Eaux-Vives shopping and restaurants and the local public transportation. The apartment is very spacious and bright and has everything you could need. Several nights during our stay we prepared dinner for 4 adults and we had plenty of room. Neighborhood very quiet. Helena is a great host.

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.

Bel appartement fot bien situé

L'appartement est bien situé par rapport à la circulation dans Genève. Très fonctionnel et globalement bien équipé. La procédure de remise des clefs ou de départ est finalement bien pratique même si elle surprend un peu. Tout s'est déroulé comme prévu. Là où l'on pensait que le stationnement de la voiture serait compliqué à Genève le principe des places de parking réservées à l'immeuble était fort agréable. Un très bon ressenti d'une manière générale et aucun regret sur le choix de ce logement. Merci pour cette belle prestation qui a fortement contribué à la réussite de ce séjour. Martine et Jean-Marc

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!
