“For nearly a decade, we have entrusted our Nyon property to Cityus. Over the years, we have consistently valued the team’s availability and swift responsiveness. Their comprehensive management extends to every aspect of our apartment, from maintenance to tenant management.
With a consistent 95% occupancy rate since the onset of our collaboration, including 100% during Covid lockdowns, we’re delighted with the stable income they’ve generated. Additionally, since 2023, they’ve replicated this success in managing our 3-bedroom apartment in Paris’ 7th arrondissement, attracting corporate tenants and maintaining our property with equal excellence.
We are highly satisfied with their service and real estate offerings, and also rely on them for corporate requirements, facilitating long-term stays for executive staff visiting our Geneva HQ.”
