I arrived a guest and left feeling like family. Living in Sylvia’s home was a highlight of my time in Zurich. Not only does she have everything a longterm guest could want, but she is proactive about checking in about how things are going and making sure you have what you need to live comfortably, find places of interest, and, truly, to feel at home. From thought-provoking conversations with Sylvia and others at her home, to fun stories and interesting details about Switzerland that she shared, to a spotless kitchen and bathrooms, and regularly cleaned bedroom, access to laundry facilities, and many sustainable practices in use, I could not have had a more positive experience. Her home is very close to public transport, which runs regularly (so I could sprint out the door and make a bus arriving in 1 minute without issue). The internet was fast. Breakfast was great. The room has plenty of storage. I look forward to staying at her home again on my next trip to Zurich!
