    The view is gorgeous, the host makes you feel right at home and I like that most of the guests are solo travellers which means it's quite social

    Guests didn’t obey the no loud noise after 10pm and were making loud noises way into midnight :(. No issues with property.

    Nice and clean. Had everything needed. Parking available but for 15 CHF. Patio overlooking Lucerne.

    This is absolutely recommendable! At first I was a bit skeptical - mostly because of personal reasons - as I’ve never slept in a shared room with strangers before. But the stay at Ray’s truly exceeded all my expectations. The House is beautiful and super spacey. There will most likely be people around to chat with but also the possibility to have some “personal space” if that’s desired. The host is just kind of living his own life there in the midst of everything, which actually brings a super good vibe in there. When I was there, he casually had some friends dropping by for a BBQ on the terrace, which is surrounded by the most incredible view. Safe to say that I’ve never felt like “being home” so fast. 😆 I know, that he states in the description, that this stay probably would be most ideal for people that are more outgoing/extroverts; but in case you’re not, I really don’t think that should hold you back! People were really respectful. What goes the hosts, I believe they’re used to be around all kind of people and therefore they’ll quickly know just how to approach you n meet your needs during the stay. If you travel on a budget, the house also offers you the great opportunity to cook yourself - and dine with the finest view. This is’nt just a stay - it’s a unique experience!

    The internet switches off once per month in the early morning. I was the one got so confused and was wondering why there was no internet. No panic, it will be fixed soon when the host wake up.

    The host is very supportive. If you encounter some people with bad behavior, please contact the host, and do not suffer it yourself. The host will sort it out for you immediately. Also, he is trying his best to keep the share area clean. I like the quiet time (after 10 pm). If you like to go to bed early, then you don't need to worry about others having partying in the house.
