Room in peaceful, comfortable, spacious apartment in Geneva old town

The apartment is located next to Park des Bastions, a popular green space in Geneva. The main city square (Bourg du Four), and stunning church, St Pierre, are also a very short walk away. The old town is full of boutiques and artisanal shops, cafes, restaurants and bars, and a few museums such as the Musée d'art et d'histoire, Espace Rousseaux, Mason Tavel, and more.

The central location means that many of the city's lively areas (Paquis, Plainpalais, Eaux Vives, Jonction, Les Grottes) can be reached on foot or easily by public transport. There you will find plenty of shopping, including a regular outdoor second-hand market on La Plaine de Plainpalais, or department stores along the main shopping street on Rue du Rhone starting from Bel Air tram stop. The newer beach (Plage des Eaux Vives) and on the other side of the lake, Bains des Paquis, offer good place relax by the water. In winter, Bains des Paquis installs some (familial, mixed) saunas with access to the lake for an ice cold dip.

For gay and lesbian establishments you could try the following if you prefer a more casual dress code: Le Phare, or my personal favourite is La Livresse, which are both cafe/bars within walking distance. La Garconiere is a gay friendly night club with a stricter dress code and late night drag performances. Check the recommendations on the 360 website, which contains links to queer bars, special events (e.g. Geneva Pride), other festivals, and amateur sports clubs such as H2O (swimming), Frontrunners Geneva - who would be happy to see you at their regular training sessions.
