Relocation accommodation in Switzerland: your Geneva base while you find your feet

The Geneva property market is particularly competitive. Waiting lists for agency-managed apartments can exceed a year. Private agencies require complete dossiers (residence permit, Swiss employment contract, Swiss payslips) that newcomers rarely have yet. Staying in a hotel for weeks is expensive and doesn't offer the conditions needed to live normally.

Our furnished studios in Plainpalais offer everything you need to live comfortably while you find your permanent home. Equipped kitchen for proper cooking, workspace, fast Wi-Fi, linen provided, weekly housekeeping. You can live at your own pace, without depending on outside services. The Plainpalais neighbourhood is particularly well positioned for professionals relocating to Geneva: close to the University, the University Hospitals (HUG), Carouge and the city centre, with fast public transport connections to the international organisations district and the rest of the city.

For stays under 3 months — the typical duration of a relocation while waiting for permanent housing — no contract or security deposit is required. Booking takes a few minutes online, and check-in is fully digital. From 3 months, a housing contract is signed between the parties. This contract carries an important advantage for people in the process of settling in Switzerland: it allows you to register officially with the commune as a resident — a step that is often essential for obtaining a residence permit or opening a bank account. A deposit may be required depending on the payment conditions agreed. For companies managing relocations, we issue invoices in the company name and can discuss adapted conditions for multi-month stays or recurring relocations.
