Richemont 7 - Self Check In by Homenhancement

The location, the price, the kitchen equipped with all the necessary things. And the most valuable and useful thing is the travel card for the public transport!

There were no consumables like soap and shampoo, no hairdryer. On the ground floor there is a restaurant, which in fact was not opened every day, but when it worked, it was quite noisy.

good

Very clean and spacious apartment, fast and stable WiFi. So nice of the hosts for offering a welcome kit with all necessities that travelers do not usually carry: tea, coffee, oil and vinegar as well as dish soap, sponge and trash bag. There was a fan too which helped a lot during the heat wave. AirKey perfectly worked for me, also there were keys with chips inside the apartment which could be used instead of the AirKey app. Enough shelves for storing clothes, cosmetics etc

No options for keeping luggage after the check-out in case of late flight. Also would be nice to have little less check-in instructions as so many incoming emails were confusing and stressed out a bit

The place is really very clean, it is well appointed and in very good order. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was convenient and with good water pressure. They kitchen is also nicely appointed. The place is easy to reach fron Gare Cornavin, too.

No air-conditioning meant the place was unfortunately completely unlivable for the heatwabe this summer. The heat inside was EXTREME and it was impossible to sleep. Also, the flat has zero noise insulation, so it sounds like you are sleeping directly in the street, and everyone who closes a door in the building - you hear them, the doors are heavy and bang. The balcony door doesn't close well and has zero insulation, which suggests to me that in the winter it runs a strong cold draft. Any guest coming in is left alone - basically no human contact whatsoever. I found the check in process very demanding and very annoying. Finally, the lock relies *entirely* on the Bluetooth on your phone, even tho the ridiculously long instructions you are sent refer to a physical key. So, if you run out of battery or lose your phone, you risk being locked out. The owners clearly tried to modernise, but they did it the wrong way around. As a paying guest I do not need a Bluetooth lock, but normal temperature and at least some attempt to secure peace and quiet, so I can sleep.
