    We were not aware that the apartment was up 3 flights of stairs - luckily our luggage was carry on size. It would be useful to have information about transport options from the apartment, eg what bus or tram to take to reach the lake area and how to purchase a ticket.

    The apartment is located in a beautiful area of the old town. Although small it has all the amenities that are needed.

    The location is wonderful, right in the old city, and on the 5th floor with a lovely view. The place is cozy and has everything you need for a stay in the city. I felt very much at home. Communication was great, thank you for the lovely time!

    That we code the wrong route to drag our suitcases up the stairs to the road - rather than walk around and up a slope .

    We liked the proximity to a convenience store and restaurant.

    It was not an issue for us due to cool weather, but if you had to try and sleep with the windows open there are a lot of people coming and going in the street below. We did notice some free earplugs in the bathroom cabinet but it might be worth considering your own for warmer nights.

    The apartment was very comfortable and clean. We checked in ourselves and it was all very smooth with easy communication through messages on booking.com. We were staying over a few nights midweek and were close to most of the city sights and amenities. There's a supermarket just down the street, a good pizza restaurant on the doorstep and bars nearby too. Bear in mind that Geneva is very expensive so it's good to have the ability to self cater some meals.

    No adapter plugs in the apartment. French and North American/Japanese plugs will not fit sockets. Solution is to go to Interdiscount on Rue de la Croix-d'Or (nr Victorinox) (7 min walk) and spend 8F each. Not all phone adapters will fit. Add a French adapter and it will work. Add a sheet with handy information about the area. No history about the building. Chairs too big for room.

    Location, Location Location. What is the secret of the 59 steps? a nice place to stay (weather was in low 40's). Plenty of light in the main room. Lots of closet space - distributed. A larger and more modern flat panel TV would have been nice, but we did not go to Geneva to watch TV. The Pizza place by the front door was good. There is a Barber shop and a tea shop within 30 steps of the front door. Up the hill are a number of palaces to dine. At the top of the hill takes you to a promenade that over looks the University of Geneva. It is a 12 minute walk to the Patek Museum and a 5 minute walk to high end shopping street.

    only thing to note is the fifth floor and windy stairs which keeps you fit and are a struggle for luggage. Good sound proofing with windows closed.

    excellent location close to everything.

    It is nothing that can be improved - it is the nature of an old property - but people do need to be aware of the steps up to the apartment that are narrow, but well lit. Philippe did warn us and we went in eyes open to this. Not a complaint in any way from what is a superb property.

    A fantastic apartment perfectly located in the old town. Spacious and clean, with good facilities. Philippe was excellent in communications and assistance. We were there by chance for the L'Escalade celebrations (we had not planned this) - and what a position! Just opened the windows and looked down on the marching and crowds. Sucha. great weekend to be in Geneva.

    The only slight downside was that there is a night club around the corner which is unusual as it is such a quiet area. The club itself doesnt intrude but they don't get going until after midnight and unfortunately the customers drift out on to the street and can be quite noisy. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper!

    The apartment meant we could do our own breakfast and the location is very near shops and lots of nice restaurant including La Cantinella (super Italian pizzeria) literally four steps away!
