Alex made my short stay in Zurich extra special. She offered a swim in the river, which was a highlight, and made a wonderful dinner. She's wonderfully thoughtful and even packed me a sandwich for my train ride the next day. Room and cats are as described. Alex is a smoker, like most Europeans it seems, but makes sure to smoke out of the window, so as a non-smoker, it didn't bother me. She's an amazing ambassador for Zurich and the Swiss people.
