It was very easy to communicate with Boris and check-in was effortless. He was also very accommodating. There is a bus stop conveniently located 1 minute from the apartment building. From there it’s a 10 minute bus ride to the center. The walk to the lake is about 10 minutes, over a hill.
The apartment is well situated, in a residential area. I couldn’t tell whether the apartment was aiming for a minimalist feel or was just still a work in progress. The kitchen had 2 bar chairs and a regular table (so, sitting at the table was a bit of a challenge). I counted 1 fork, 2 spoons, and 2 knives, 1 tea mug. Plates were equally sparse. In the living room, there is one small rattan chair, a coffee table, a TV and two low cabinets, so not super comfy for hanging out. The bed and 1 pillow were comfortable – that’s where I ended up working on my laptop. The 2 balconies are lovely – if only there had been some furniture to sit outdoors! Anyone who has mobility issues will want to know that the apartment is on the 2nd/3rd floor and there is no elevator. Zurich is an amazing city and if you’re not too picky, this place will probably do the trick.
