My vote on where to stay in Zurich is the old town; Trudi’s Place, built in 1430, is in the heart of the old town. Take the #4 tram from Zurich main train station and get off at the 4th stop - Helmhaus. Walk a few minutes along a few streets that go up a hill, and you are there. Trudi will meet you and give you the apartment key. The apartment is darn near perfect, including a breakfast buffet with homemade touches - ours was a great vegetable torte, which was delicious. You will love the house, where this apartment is located. It is a beautiful masterpiece on one of the nicest streets we saw in all of Zurich. There is even a functioning town well within 50 meters or so. It is not only centrally located, near old churches and one of Europe’s highest end shopping streets (Bahnhofstrasse), it is a lovel place for walks. Oh, and if you have traveler aches, Trudi sells her own professional massages. Enjoy ... we certainly did.
