I have stayed with Karen and Jacob over several month in the winter of 2018. I can only say thank you so much for having us Karen! Its been such a nice, uncomplicated time in a very lovely home, wonderful house and charming neighbourhood. Karen is on of the most wonderful hosts I have stayed with. Very positive, uncomplicated, helpful, inspiring, down to earth, very admirable.
The actual room is well sized for 1 or 2 guests, has wooden floor, high ceiling, window facing into the green towards to the south with nice natural light.
It has a comfortable large bed with a table to work on, a little lounge to chill on, a wardrobe and some storage place.
The apartment is in an recently renovated old, very well kept building that breathes, has charm and provides good vibes. I love to hear the outside spring in the morning when I opened the window or look through the handmade window glass which is very rare these days.
The kitchen and bathroom are modern, clean and have everything thats needed. I also enjoyed having Jacob around - her 4 year old son is such a cutie and well behaved human. It was fun seeing all his toys, sketches and costumes - so creative, so much life.
The location is by far my favourite of Zürich. Its very close to the inner city. I was lucky to walk to work many mornings (over the Rietberg and then along the lake - just beautiful). Its perfect for morning runs or short walks to the nearby Rieterberg where the wondefun Rietberg Museum is located. From the peak you can have a amazing view over the lake and to the swiss alps - the mountains appear so close on some days. Also several places to buy food are near by.
Karens Airbnb is also very well connected to the public transport such a tram, bus or train lines. Destinations such as the main trainstation or the airport easy and fast to get to.
In a nutshell, down to earth, wonderful host, great location.
Thank you!
