This charming cottage was clean and cozy. Great location in Geneva.The owners were very responsive and gave clear directions on all of the details. I would definately recommend this beautiful place.
Beautiful! The house itself is an absolute treasure—wonderfully updated and decorated. If you want cozy and chic vibes this is the place for you. The all slate downstairs bathroom was especially spa-like. The kitchen was functional and well-equipped. This would be the perfect stay for a girls or a remote working situation. The yard and bonus room at the back of the yard add extra living space. The beds were very comfortable but the bedrooms are small. We stayed here with our two young sons. They loved the yard, games, and neighborhood, but I would not say the house itself is particularly kid-friendly. We managed, but just be aware if you are traveling with Littles.
