Great location and space, but be informed...
This apartment is quite nice and spacious and there is an elevator which is wonderful after a long day. It is in an excellent location in town, about a 15/20 minute walk from the train station (if hauling large suitcases) and has absolutely amazing views of the center park square with dozens of paragliders landing all day!
The wifi worked great the entire time and we didn’t have any issues with the apartment itself.
We didn’t know about the additional $500 ‘cash deposit’ for damages required before being given the key, until we emailed we were on our way and they informed us we needed it. It is listed no where in the online profile and we felt it was quite shady.
Also there is a $3.50 tax per person per night which must be paid in cash upon leaving. We knew nothing of this either. We didn’t bring that many francs with us and since a good amount of places around town didn’t take credit cards it left us in a bit of a bind.
The Gentlemen helping us was very courteous and nice. He showed us around the apartment and how to use the different appliances we might need.
There is a washer and dryer unit, iron and board, drying rack, full kitchen and 2 full bathrooms.
There are some rules, in the form of
a pamphlet on the kitchen table when you arrive. We were responsible to wash all the dishes and put them away, as well as pull all the linens and put them in a pile upon check out.
We had to spend additional money on toilet paper because 2 rolls were not enough for 4 people and also buy laundry detergent.
Extra info: most places charge 3/5 francs for tap water so be careful and bring your own bottles.
Also a lot of places dont take credit card and only want francs, or they say they dont take card even though there is a visa sign on the door. So ask before you even order.
All in all a wonderful time was had.
