I'm having a nightmare (along with everyone else) finding a flat in Geneva: I'm using all the usual search tools every day and have submitted a fair amount of dossiers - it's more a question of trying to beat 59 other applicants to it ... if you've any leads, I'd be most grateful! Cheers.
One tip is to fit in with the house- if everyone else has kids except you, you won't get it etc. That may be the case also if you are single but want 2 or 3 bedrooms.
