One of a kind, misfortune. Day wasted trying to check-in. I got the keys to the apartment almost 4 hours after the scheduled Checkin time (3pm). The host said the apartment would be ready at 4pm but I could drop off the luggage sooner. However, when I went to the building the keys weren’t there. Then the host mentioned I can check in at 5 pm. When I went to the building at 5 I was told that the previous occupant hasn’t left so I couldn’t checkin. I contacted the Airbnb and Finally around 6:45 I got the key.
I couldn’t even drop off my luggage. The shops nearby were closed. Taking Uber to the apartment twice costed like 30 CHF, waiting in the cold, tired, with my luggage, unable to use the restroom. This was not the idea I had about spending my only day in Zurich.
Issue number 2: the heating didn’t work. The host said it may be that the city didn’t consider it was winter so the heat couldn’t be turned on. However, The prior apartment I stayed in Zurich, the day before- the heating worked.
The home was clean except the lady forgot to turn on the dishwasher. There were dirty dishes
Positives:
1. It’s a good location, nice coffee shops/restaurant around the corner
2. The apartment was a good value- soacious, clean
3. The bed was comfy. I only slept in it for 4 hours
