CityStay was very helpful in person and by phone and email getting us in an out of this apartment during off hours for them. Thanks for that!

The apartment was clean and comfortable and quiet and the location is ideal for a family or couple -- 100 meters to groceries, restaurants, other shops, and convenient tram lines, and 2 or 3 short blocks to a lovely part of the lake. The bathroom is a little cramped, but clean and perfectly functional. The photos in the listing do not appear to be of the actual apartment we were in, but honestly representative.

Do keep in mind that this is not someone's apartment or spare room you're renting, but really a spare "furnished apartment," with solid furniture and basic cooking utensils, but virtually no other supplies for cooking or other basics: you'll need to bootstrap things like butter, oil, vinegar, condiments, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, shampoo, laundry soap, etc., etc. I hope the barely opened things like this we purchased are left for the next guests.

The clothes-washing is in the basement and requires a special card -- arrange for that ahead of time if you need it. And if you've never used a European washer/dryer like this before, ask for a tutorial.

The top-floor was really hot at night, but CityStay can hardly be faulted for a European heat wave. Do keep this in mind if you're planning to stay during a likely hot spell.

All in all, a great experience and a wonderful way to visit Zurich.
