Maher is an awesome host! The place is great: clean, amazing balcony, lovely neighbourhood, next to public transport.
On my first day there it was raining so didn't manage to do much, besides a quick walk through the city. On my second day, the weather was amazing so I got a bike from the nearby Enge train station (20 Franc deposit which you get back upon return), and I went all around the lake (which is just down the road). Then I cycled to the Albisgüetli tram station, which is also a bit up the road. From there I hiked up Uetliberg (only do so if you're crazy enough!) and enjoyed the most amazing views from the top of the mountain.
Later that night (when I couldn't feel my legs from too much hiking), Maher was super kind and made us all some lovely tea (with tons of sugar available), and we chatted on the balcony under fireworks (yes, that happened too!).
I only just realised by writing this review how awesome that experience was! Thank you Maher!
