Our host was very punctual in meeting us at the flat, and provided lots of information about enjoying Zürich and getting around town. The room is located on a charming, narrow side street, close to the river, the train station, and the university. Noise was something of an issue; due to the heat the windows had to stay open, and the acoustics are such that conversations held at street level are perfectly audible three floors up. The building across the street was doing extensive renovations, and the workmen arrived well before 8 in the morning.
