Too far for a casual walk to the city, but the transportation was easy to use. We often took the 31 bus or the train to the Zurich HB area. The Zurich pass was worth it because we had unlimited trains and entry to museums for free. The rooms were clean and the owner was quick to respond. The amount of amenities was staggering, especially in the kitchen. So many cups and plates and every tool you can imagine if you want to cook.
