Upon arrival we were welcomed by perfectly clean and organized Gerard's apartment in a very heart of Zurich's old town. Gerard very in time communicated to us all the details about entering the apartment that made our experience smooth and easy. Once accommodated we got a message from Gerard that there are two bottles of Swiss wine - red and white - carefully put into refrigerator in advance so it was already perfectly chilled when we opened one. Besides the wine we also found two chilled Swiss beers and couple of packs of Swiss sweets. Also Gerard took care about socket adapters so we could charge our electronic devices without any hassle. As this was our very first time in Zurich, special thanks for recommending us initial exploration directions and a nice restaurant recommendation.
I'd like to emphasize separately on a great flexibility offered by Gerard regarding check-in and check-out - in return to our early check-out he kindly agreed to our early check-in so we shouldn't waste several hours of our precious time after arriving to Zurich in the morning - great example of mutual flexibility!
While location is a super central one - famous and buzzing Niederdorfstrasse is just below your windows - it also brings some noise from the street, which actually ends around 12am. Also when the weather is hot, which is nice of course, it brings the warmth into the room to, so having AC would be really good addition.
In general, Gerard is the true Super-host and I highly recommend staying with him.
