Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Please, note that we don't exchanging during 2023. Thank you :-)

Our apartment in Lausanne, Switzerland comes with dedicated kids’ rooms and a balcony with views of Lake Geneva. It sleeps 6 + 1. It has plenty of toys and is just steps away from a wonderful playground and a kid-friendly cafe (during summer time). Lausanne is home to amazing cultural sights, including theaters, museums, art galleries, botanical gardens, and dance companies, as well as a bustling urban culture. The apartment is short distance to all the central attractions, shops, and museums, but in a quiet, family-friendly part of town. Visit the shores of Lake Geneva (10 minutes by car) for a lake-side beach, majestic harbor, and spacious green parks.

The apartment is safe and secure, located on the first floor (with an elevator) of a 4-storey building. There is wood flooring throughout (unglazed). Sorry - no pets allowed. Car rental is not essential - the apartment is well served by bus and train links. If you do have a car, there is 1 private parking spot in a secure underground garage and another spot for visitors in front of the building. The apartment is 3 minutes walk from 2 bus stops (1 direct line to the city center; 1 direct line to the train station). The residence comes with a dishwasher, housekeeper, washer/dryer, TV, DVD player, and WiFi.

The apartment has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, all set on 1 floor. There is a large open plan living/dining room and fully-equipped kitchen, plus access to a large balcony which has views of Lake Geneva. The primary bedroom has a kingsize bed, and there are 2 children’s bedrooms: one with a single sofa bed plus a crib, and another with a set of bunk beds (with bed rail). A travel crib can be added to either of the bedrooms on request. There is also a study which can be used as an additional bedroom if required.

There are plenty of toys for children under 5, including: Lego, dolls, cars, books, games, a bike, a tricycle, a scooter, craft materials, and an inflatable paddling pool for little ones to use on the balcony. We also have lots of board games, books, and comics for older kids and teenagers. This residence is also perfect for parents with babies or toddlers: we provide a baby bath, baby monitor, high chairs, changing table, and children’s utensils. There are 2 parks nearby with playgrounds (at both ends of the street), one of which has a sand pit, as well as a free outdoor swimming pool (during the summer months) and tennis courts just a few minutes away.

We would love to make you discover Lausanne and its surroundings as much as we are attached to this wonderful region.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

On the shores of Lake Geneva in the southwest of Switzerland, French-speaking Lausanne is a haven for kids and adults alike. Take day trips to mountain resorts, ski areas and chocolate factories, or explore museums, toys shops and family-friendly spa resorts. In the summer, there are beaches and open air swimming pools on Lake Geneva, while the snowy delights of the French alps are just 45 minutes away in winter.

This apartment is located in Lausanne in Switzerland. It’s 40 minutes’ drive from Geneva airport and 10 minutes from the city center. You can reach the spectacular Lake Geneva in 20 minutes by car, bus, or metro and Lausanne food market in just 5 minutes by bus. Nearby you'll find child-friendly cafés, supermarkets, a bakery, the best cheese factory in town, playgrounds, and much more. A trip out of the city provides a unique choice of landscapes: visit beaches with views of the Alps, vineyards in the Lavaux, trekking trails in the Alpes vaudoises, aquatic trips on the CGN boats, and more. For wine lovers, it’s around 10 minutes by car or train to Lavaux UNESCO World Heritage site.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

Please note that we prefer to exchange with a family who has children of the same age as our daughter, in order to have some games available during our stay :-). We also have a preference to do an exchange in a city (or close to a city).

There is natural wood flooring throughout the apartment (unglazed), so please no water or any liquids on it... Water causes irreversible stains on the natural wood flooring. Please note that this is a non-smoking apartment. Simply take care of our apartment as if it were your own. We will of course do the same on our side.
