"Pros: A wonderful experience in the basement apartment to a family home. Daniela was welcoming and provided many touches such as fruit, jam and coffee for our arrival. She even serviced the apartment and offered to do the washing up every day (though I felt a bit guilty about that), making it more like a hotel than an apartment. The shower was great! The kitchenette has a fridge, microwave and coffee machine, so we could prepare simple meals. The Coop in Switzerland was great for food shopping. Neuchatel is a beautiful town and a regular bus to the town centre ran from almost directly outside. We took full advantage of the tourist card and went to multiple museums (especially Latenium) and trips on a boat and funicular. We even had a view of snow on the Alps from the apartment on our last day. Cons: One needs two apps to operate the tourist card. The Neuchatel Card app is straightforward. A QR code gives you access to the museums etc and can be printed off. Then you have to download and set up 'FAIRTIQ' to be able to use the buses etc. You have to get a code from the Neuchatel App and then enter that as a 'Promotion Code' into Fairtiq. What they don't tell you however, is that you can only get the code once your Neuchatel Card is live. Trying to be organised and have everything set up for our arrival, I kept failing, until eventually I got a message. Then your phone has to be connected when you use public transport. You have an ON-OFF slider to indicate when you are travelling. It worked most of the time, but was stressful when my phone refused to behave and I could not have shown a generated ticket had an inspector got on." ~Normaj
