We were fortunate to get Blanca/Sarah’s place at the very last minute. She was quick to respond to our booking request and made sure things were in order before we arrived.
The studio is as pictured, located in an older apartment building adjacent to Lake Zürich. It is not fancy, but perfect for a solo traveler or couple who need a place to shower and sleep while enjoying the city. I enjoyed being able to access the tram system easily and the paths along the lake. There are shops and restaurants on the tram line or within walking distance, including Coop, where you can purchase groceries.
During our stay the temperature climbed to 88 degrees in Zürich. Thankfully the apartment had a fan and we were able to open the patio door for extra ventilation.
In case you have luggage, be prepared for stairs leading from the sidewalk up to the entrance of the apartment building. Once inside, you will walk up to the top floor. There is a lift on the same floor as the entrance but it does not take you all the way to the top floor. You will still walk up a flight of stairs to get to the studio.
If you are staying a few days you may want to purchase paper towels, napkins , bottled water and coffee pods for the kitchen.
The neighborhood is quiet at night although you may hear the train or some street noises. I love how you can take the tunnel underneath the street and be right at the water for swimming or at a tram stop.
