The apartment location is really convenient -- 1) really easy access to all sorts of public transportation (tram, train, public bikes etc); 2) close to lake therefore quick access to a lake walk at anytime; 3) grocery stores such as coop and restaurants nearby. The view of lake zurich from the balcony of the apartment is great! The host responds really quickly and is very easy to communicate with.
Couple of suggestions: 1) Provide paper towels for the kitchen. We prepared breakfast on our own at the apartment and there's only one towel to dry the dishes, meaning that there's nothing else to wipe the table. We had to use toilet paper to clean the balcony table which we used for breakfast. 2) The lighting for the apartment isn't great. There's couple of desk lamps and one floor lamp. However the floor lamp in the living area DOES NOT have a light bulb... 3) The bedding stuff should be updated (sheet, pillow case etc) as well as the showering towels. There was a weird smell from the bed when we stayed and the towels weren't the cleanest. I think it's because they are old.
All in all, it's a good place for a short stay in Zurich and I think you get what you paid for.
