Finding an Apartment
Ever had to find an apartment in a new city? Remember how hard that was? Now try adding in the x-factor of the lack of a common language and multiply that by not being sure if every single person is trying to scam you then you will start to understand the difficulty of find an apartment in Geneva.
We have found a few decent sites for short-term apartment rentals, but one would think that with all the international organizations in Geneva this would be an easier process!
I don't know how people did this before Google Earth - it has been such a great tool locating addresses and learning the layout of the city.

Man, do I understand your frustration! I don't know if you had this problem, but lots of people didn't want to rent to us because we couldn't be there, because we couldn't see the apartment before we sent them our deposit. It's fine for us, why couldn't it be find for them?! We finally convinced our current landlords to give us this place by promising 6 months of rent up front. We could have paid it, but thankfully that gesture showed them we were serious and they gave us the place. Two weeks before we moved. *sigh* :)
When do you guys get here? Are you already on the same continent as me?!
