Room Type : Entire Home/Apartment 
Area : Aeschi bei Spiez, Bern, Switzerland

• Communication with Andreas has been quite easy. He asked us to call his mum Julia about our ETA, which we did, and when we arrived, we were quite surprised to see him, waiting to receive us.
• He is very warm and that put us at ease rightaway. He then explained clearly and in detail on how to use his studio apartment. We were so happy to be using his place for the next 6 days. 
• Firstly, it's a chalet located at 750m altitude overlooking Spiez and Lake Thun. His apartment is on the first floor, with 2 other apartments but his balcony offers beautiful views morning and night over the valley and lake. 
• Secondly, it's very modern, comfortable and as it's quite cold, we turned on the heating in the living and bedroom.
• Thirdly, the kitchen has everything provided, tea, coffee, coffee maker, water heater jug, toaster, a big fridge and even a dishwasher. When we ran out of dishwasher tablets, more were brought over, as they don't stay on site. Julia. Andreas' mum, also came over the next day to show us how to use the washing machine, which is located in the basement. There's also a lift, which makes it easy to transport our luggage. We didn't have any issues, and when we asked them, their response or solution was quick.
• There's a supermarket, restaurants, butcher, and a good bakery nearby (the butter croissant is really delicious). 
• If you like native Swiss Alps music, you hear it everyday, cow bells ringing in the pastures right in front, as there's a cattle farm. And church bells chiming from behind... 
• It's only 35 min from Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald, so convenient a location to your Swiss adventure in the Alps.
• We also took small walks further up from his place, after dinner, to enjoy the fresh air. 
• Finally, we really enjoyed staying in his place, and we'd soak in the big bathtub to ease our fatigue from the mountain walks. It was our first Airbnb experience in Switzerland and we are delighted to have Andreas and Julia as our hosts.
