Dishwasher in the apartment & shared washing machine in the basement. Very well connected to Lausanne city centre in less than 10 minutes by bus. Plenty of restaurants and bars around, including a great chinese restaurant at the ground floor of the bulding. Many parks around and less than 200m (2 minutes walk!) from the lake.

What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
We would like you to arrive on the day we leave or day before so we can show we can give you detailed instructions via video / house booklet and video call. (We cannot host you if you arrive the night before). Please leave the apartment clean, empty the bins and remove the sheets from the bed. We ask you to try to spend some time with Gimli and play with him when you’re home. Change the litter box and feed Gimli before leaving.

Lovely Couple with Charming Cat!
We just completed our assignment in Dublin in Giada and Benoit’s flat overlooking the beautiful River Tolka and so conveniently located near the city center. We arrived a day ahead to get acclimated and they were very welcoming, thoughtful and accommodating, explaining how everything worked in their home and all about attractions in the local area. After they left they were always accessible for questions via WhatsApp, and Giada went above and beyond when I lost my iPhone, allowing me to use her old one as a replacement! And what can we say about Gimli? He is a friendly, active and chatty fellow who kept us entertained and who also appreciated being entertained. Giada, Benoit and Gimli will be moving soon, but we would recommend them to any other house sitters whatever their location!

We had a wonderful time looking after Giada & Ben's apartment and their very cool cat, Gimli!. He was a pleasure to be around and enjoyed playing with both his toys and us humans. Giada and Ben are lovely hosts, who left clear instructions for Gimli's care and useful info for housesitters. Their apartment is gorgeous, with a wrap-around balcony overlooking the Tolka river. It is very comfortable and well-equipped and the location is spot-on.............within walking distance of the city centre and many places of interest. we hope to housesit and look after Gimli again and are very happy to recommend Giada & Ben.

Wonderful assignment in Ireland with the adorable Gilmi
I spent a week at Giada & Benoît's home with their adorable cat Gilmi. What a great experience ! The flat is very spacious and convenient and the cat sitter has her/his own bedroom and bathroom. It is very well located, the area is quiet and convenient with supermarkets, bars and restaurants and direct access to public transportation to the city centre. My stay with Gilmi was a dream : he is very affectionate, really easy to look after, lively but quiet as well. I would strongly recommend meeting Giada, Benoît and Gilmi, I really enjoyed it !

Nice people,comfortable flat
I have spent 10 days in their home with the ginger funny cat.Everything was tidy and well organized. The town center was quite near to get in about 20 minutes walk or getting a bus.When I left the flat I left the keys in a special place for another person to come over that evening at my place.Everything was well planified and it worked out...
