As for the housing market, is located in Geneva, an exceptional situation. The housing shortage is so severe that I had when writing a questionnaire to fill in my situation (if I had a hotel, or at least a stopgap ....). I felt very privileged because I did not just accommodation, but even a brokered private "studio"! During my search I came across a lot of unwelcome advances, from the outrageous prices apart, and it seemed to border on a miracle to have found this room. The apartment is relatively large and well cut, bright and above all, very central. I'm in 10-15 Min. at the university or at the station, supermarket and post office are just around the corner.

(And the other way, not yet really finished. Ausfzuhängen To view images I need a drill ...)
(Outlook, when I look out the window around the corner.)
was a bit unpleasant things when I found out shortly before my move, that in my house in May, a prostitute was murdered and beheaded. In addition, probably have a few other women their business premises here. Meanwhile, I grow used to the idea and had not been given any strange encounters. However, this story is
ridiculous compared to the state of my apartment. When I arrived two weeks ago, both the runoff from the tub and sink were clogged by. It took almost a week until my landlord has bothered, though he was informed about it since August. Just as he knew that the refrigerator does not work and yet he has appointed only the day I arrived, a new one. So I hung over a week my food from my window, until the new refrigerator came.
This morning I saw but the coronation: My heater is leaking. On the floor was a rather large puddle. Anyway, as parquet enough incentive for my landlord to quickly take care of correcting the problem. About half an hour later I called the company, which had been commissioned to repair to tell me that only someone could come in four days. The woman also proposed to issue up the heating and was surprised when I told her that she would drop (even off) anyway. Unfortunately, this does not alter the fact that currently do not have capacity is available. Incidentally, it is now also become quite cold and I have no intention not to heat the whole weekend ... My landlord had the nerve to tell me also that I should complete the hot water issue! He has, however well considered, that these states are not very dignified, for he has promised to take care of another company.
not enough, because when I tried to regulate the heating in the bathroom, I had shortly after the knob in his hand. The screw is easily unscrewed. At least not yet there also came out of water. However, this means that no work of my two heaters. But I have warm sweater.
more thing: use the common washing machine in the basement, you have to buy a card with the operator. This will be sent by post. I ordered a week ago, a card and it is supposed to last a day, until you find the card in his mailbox. I'm still waiting. A call yesterday has not changed anything. And so waiting is one of my main jobs here, because neither I have been a residence permit nor a valid student ID.
I wait.
