As described in the listing, the apartment is smack in the center of old town Zurich; couldn't have a better location. The apartment, rather a motel-like room was clean, with items as described but the kitchen consisted of a shelf with hot plate, microwave, espresso machine, a few plates and cups and small fridge. No sink. The bathroom had the only sink so some shuffling was needed. As such it was a fine base from which to explore, but we wouldn't describe it as new.

Chris met us as planned and hurriedly showed us the apartment, explaining the key situation and little else. He was clearly eager to leave quickly and he did.
