My husband and I found this to be a convenient, accommodating, safe, and lovely setting. You can be far from the madding crowd at home, then jump on a tram (press the language you need to get tickets- then it is easy to get a day pass for all stops) and VOILA ! you are at the river and accessible to all of Zurich. Host Engin knocked on our door in earnest as we were about to leave, afraid that we had left without his welcoming us. It was a genuine moment of connection with a very decent host.
