finding a room without the scam
 Hi Everyone.

I am getting really downhearted trying to find a place to live. It seems that there are more scams than real offers out there. Its so disappointing

Does anyone have any advice or a contact that might be looking for a room mate from October, for 6 months?

Thanks,

Liz

 Hi there,
my advice is to try the foyer l'accuel in augustine, it offers accomodation to young females. The other one I know of is at Palletes. Good luck

I have heard that the John Knox centre in Grand Saconnex is good.  Have a look at their website, it may be a place to stay whilst you are looking for something else.  Regards
