Coming for internship!

Hello everyone!


I'm coming for internship this summer (actually there are 4 us). We are trying to find a place to rent for 2 month but all in vain. We tried airbnb and ther similar websites, but still cannot find a suitable option. Our internship is from 7 July 5 September, so we want to rent 6 July - 7 September.


Can anyone recommend a website or probably you are renting out, or you know a person who knows a person?;)


We will be more than grateful if you guys could help.


Thanks!!

Hello !


Welcome in Geneva and here !


As you might know, Geneva is hugely expensive !


I know that university hostels accept to rent to people during summer, so you might find something nice here : http://www.geneve-tourisme.ch/fr/ou-dormir/auberges-de-jeunesse/


It's in French but you can test the several websites, you may find something.


It's the cheapest solution. You still can find some flats but it's really hard because you don't stay for a long time. I hope somebody will find a good solution for you

Yeah, we know about the prices in Geneva...Yet we need a furnished flat with kitchen as we will live here for 2 month, so we can at least somehow wave on groceries...


Maybe there is an opportunity to rent in France? How long does a commute feom France to the UN's Office usually take?

I would say from half an houre to one houre, you can check in Annemasse and Ferney-Voltaire, it's the closest cities in the border where you can find buses to go to Geneva (TPG). If you have a car, you can go a bit farer and get something cheaper :)


You can try this :


http://www.leboncoin.fr/locations/offres/rhone_alpes/haute_savoie/?f=a&th=1&furn=1&location=annemasse


It's a famous website in France, there is many good offers but you should be quick :). I hope somebody else can bring more information :)

Sorry to have to tell you that you are asking for the moon.  There is a chronic shortage of housing in Geneva and there is very little chance that you will find anything for four people for the dates you mention which, incidentally, are not full calendar months.  And if you did find such a place, it probably wouldn’t be affordable.


My advice would be to revise your plan and look for individual rooms or at least two rooms for two people, and be aware that the going rate for a decent single room starts at around CHF 800 p.m.


This is an expensive town, girls!


All the very best,


R.
