We highly recommended this unit if you’re visiting Zurich. Considering the location, I’m still surprised at how big this rental was! There were 4 full bedrooms, a huge kitchen/living room area, and a bathroom with clawfoot tub/shower.
The unit is on the 3rd floor (considered the 4th floor if you’re from the US), and although there’s no A/C, you can open up all the windows to get a nice cross-breeze going. Plus, there are plenty of fans, which you can situate near the windows to bring in cooler air. We arrived during a heatwave, and after opening the windows and getting the fans going, the apartment cooled right down and we were comfortable the entire stay.
The kitchen is stocked with all the pots/pans/silverware/etc. that you could need. The refrigerator and freezer are quite large, which we learned is rare for Switzerland. The unit had plenty of towels and dish towels. Also, the unit was very clean, which is a major plus for us.
As noted in the listing, the toilet is private, but it’s outside the main door of the unit, down a few steps to the right (across from the washer/dryer). It wasn’t a problem at all for us, and was actually kind of fun/charming. The floors were creaky (beautiful original flooring!), which again, wasn’t a problem for us and added to the charm.
Martin was great—very quick to respond, and even checked on us shortly after our arrival to make sure we were all settled in. He was also flexible and accommodating with our check-out plans, which was so nice.
Again, this place is a catch. We are definitely going to try and stay here next time we’re in Zurich.
