We rented a room at Peter & Engin's place for our start in Zürich. They were very helpful and forthcoming to our needs. The house and shared areas were cleaned daily. Our room was big enough for a couple. The kitchen is a bit small but it has everything you need for cooking your own meals. They even bought a new microwave during our stay. Regarding the location, stores are just a few steps away next to a tram stop. The tram connection takes you to the main train station. You can also walk to nearby hill / forest for a great view of the city. Very good stay!
