My wife and I had a wonderful experience during our stay with Alan and Yvonne. We recommend their accommodations without hesitation.

The room in which we stayed was clean and comfortable, the price right, and the bed large enough to support my large frame (I'm 6'3", uh, about 191 cm, tall), with room to spare. We shared a toilet, washroom, and kitchen with them, but never felt inconvenienced. One of the best features of their flat, which sits on the second floor of a building that dates from the early twentieth century, is its central location, only a few blocks away from one of Zurich's main tram lines.

My wife and I enjoy meeting people when we travel. Alan and Yvonne are gracious, knowledgeable, interesting, and accessible. They are truly citizens of the world with an international perspective. Several times, we found ourselves needing advice on travel issues and they went out of their way to help. They also enriched our stay with insights into culture. (Alan is an ardent Beatles fan and Yvonne a violinist.)

Our daughter is currently a graduate student in Zurich. We expect her to graduate sometime in 2015. When she does, we plan stay with Alan and Yvonne again.
