I stayed for 3 weeks and, sadly, this stay was rather a disappointment. To start with smth positive, I must say that the location of the apartment is really great – very well connected, easy access to all parts of the city and the train station, excellent bakeries and veggi market just around the corner, very calm area. The apartment is also big and can comfortably accommodate 2 couples.
But this Airbnb is run by the agency (and Novac is its name), and you can feel it straight away because the apartment simply lacks the homey touch. It has the minimum basics but no more than that (i.e. no kitchen towel, just one tiny carpet in a huge bathroom, plastic plants, limited kitchenware, we had to fight to get some wine glasses, tiny barrels of soap like in a hotel). All this is of course not so important if you only come to stay for a couple of nights, but such things change your whole experience if you stay for several weeks. And a responsible host (whether a person or an agency) should understand that a long-term rent through Airbnb is not the same thing as a temporary house rent, which is in such demand in Zurich. Airbnb is supposed to be your guests home and it is the host who is supposed to create the right set up. Unfortunately, in this case the host did not manage to do it.
