This is a compact and utilitarian studio which I found perfect for a visit of just under a week to Zurich. The location is unbeatable, being in the heart of a classic "altstadt" shopping area, only a block from Zurich's renowned Hotel Widder. I was met by the host, who had also arranged another room for just one night for a colleague visiting from Berlin, and who gave us the necessary orientation and generously walked us around the neighborhood. The furnishings are simple and almost a study in urban practicality and improvisational functionality. Sleeping is on a convertible couch which I found it easiest to leave open. At-home meals are not a serious option, but snacks are easily managed and take-out food is not hard to find. The room is on the 3rd floor so you have to be able to get up and down stairs unassisted. The building is quiet (there was an audible party nearby on Friday night but that's life in the big city) and the room and bathroom were clean. There are mechanically modern windows on one wall and a decent TV which I had no interest in. The room is comfortably warm at night (radiant pipes). Entry into the small shower/tub is the one reason I would be inclined to warn off anyone my age (78) or even younger who does not consider herself/himself agile in limb and secure in balance. I might add that I hate spending money on taxis (and Zurich will make you a convert even if you have deep pockets) and took advantage of the amazing streetcar - bus - train service every day I was there. At this price I would definitely rent this place again, although if my wife joins me on our next trip I think I'll choose something just a little less Spartan.
