This apartment was phenomenal. The location could not have been more ideal. Just steps away from the main train station and a short walk down to the River. The light rail line is also just a few minute walk away. Just outside the doorsteps, there are a TON of restaurants and café’s as well.
As far as the apartment itself, I’ve never seen one more well-equipped. It comes with everything you could possibly need, even a complete set of chef’s knives. It’s truly a home away from home for a couple of days. It’s extremely modern and the interior decorations are world class. Everything seems to be automated which is very cool, but sometimes a little annoying. For example, the toilet lid opens every time you enter the bathroom. This is great when you need to use the toilet, but not so great when you just want to use the sink or something else in the bathroom. Also, the elevator is quite small, but that’s standard in Europe. The apartment itself is pricey, but I think it's worth every penny for the convenience of everything it has to offer.
The host James was incredible. I was arriving in Zurich early and had nowhere to put my luggage, so he let me stay in another apartment he manages for a few hours down the street. This made all the difference since I had 3 screaming children (Traveling with little kids is only for the bravest of people!). Anytime I had a question, he would respond within minutes with fantastic recommendations. For those looking for a 5 star place and host in a centrally located apartment in Zurich, look no further than Le Bijou! On a scale of 1-100, I’d rate this apartment as a 98! I’ve been all over the world, and this is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
