Hi,
We are coming to Lausanne for the second half of the year and need a place to stay. What would be the reasonable price for an apartment of 3-5 units in Lausanne? I've seen very different pictures on the websites and the prices vary from 2000CHF to above 5000CHF. I am in the States until summer, so cannot see the places myself.

Also, could anyone tell me if the area inbetween Beaulieu/Place Chauderon in Lausanne is nice and OK for kids? We might stay there at friends' apartment for at least some time and I do not want to offend them asking if the area around is nice.

Thank you for all your help,

Edward
