This was my first experience with AirBNB and I have to admit I was a little apprehensive, but Nuria's quick and friendly response was very reassuring. Her pictures were accurate and the apartment was as described. Overall, we were very happy with our experience and we would definitely stay here again.

Now for some details for you if you are considering staying here.

LOCATION: This location is amazing! Lots of restaurants and shops just steps away. Great sightseeing and the tram is only a couple of blocks away if you want to see more of the city.

FOOD: Nothing in Zurich is cheap. The average dinner price is ~$30 USD but there is nearby fast food for ~$10. My favorite coffee shop was Cafe Henrici. And if you really want to splurge for dinner, you must try Isebähnli, an amazing restaurant where you should abandon all caution and just put yourself in their very capable hands (we're talking minimum of $125/person and worth every penny). It is truly one of the best restaurants in the world. Eat there soon before you can't get in.

NOISE: Several other reviewers have remarked about the floor noise. It didn't really bother the four of us, but your mileage may vary. The fact is it's a very old building and the floors are beautiful old wood that squeaks. On the up side, there is no way anyone can sneak up on you. :-)

The street noise is entirely out of Nuria's control. We brought some little foam earplugs with us. My husband and I slept in the room with the street-facing window and the earplugs did the trick, even on New Year's Eve with all the street parties going on til 3 AM. Our nieces slept in the interior room which has an extra wall which reduces or eliminates the street noise.

Some reviewers even complained about the church bells. It's true they are loud, but what are you going to do? Most of time they only ring for a minute or so. We hardly noticed it.

COMFORT: The shower was great. The toilet was cramped with the sink hitting my knees, but I'm a big guy. The beds were 2 twin mattresses pushed together to form 1 single bed in each bedroom. This makes sense because there is no way you're getting a queen sized mattress up the stairs or in the tiny elevator. To be honest, none of us really liked the beds. We were able to sleep fine, but we were sore after the 2nd night.

Lastly, there is seating in the living room for 7, 3 comfy seats and 4 wooden chairs. If you have 4 people, you may have to negotiate who gets the comfy chairs.

We never figured out how to make the TV work, but it wasn't a priority for us.

Wi-fi worked fine and allowed youtube and other streaming as well as uploading of pictures and videos.

Overall a fine place to stay!
