It helps to have a bit of luck when moving to a new country, and I was incredibly lucky to spend my first weeks in Switzerland at Salvia's home. Salvia quickly made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I slept very well amidst the peaceful surroundings, and I enjoyed the bright and cheerful apartment with its many plants and amazing balcony full of herbs. It is a truly inviting place.

But what made this Airbnb experience so wonderful was having Salvia as my hostess. She is very generous, friendly, and helpful. Because she was not busy when I arrived, she picked me up (with all my luggage!) from the Kilchberg train station and cooked me dinner. Throughout my stay, she made sure I was comfortable and settling in well. I so enjoyed those evenings I came 'home' and was able to chat with Salvia. She is a really engaging conversationalist and also gave me a lot of useful pointers for getting situated in Zurich.

I hope your stay in Zurich is as successful and wonderful as Salvia has helped mine be. You are very lucky if you are able to stay at her home!
