I wished to leave Geneva and work in Lausanne. I always dreamed of a house as originally built as near as possible to the lake with a big closed garage. I also needed housekeeping-ironing services. I have been lucky to find Acropolis Services who met and satisfied all my requirements for which I am very happy. — Sylvain F., Geneva, Switzerland
