If you're looking for a large, modern apartment, in a quiet but convenient part of Zurich, this place should work well for you. We stayed here for six whole weeks while I was working in Oerlikon (a neighborhood further to the north), so we really got to know the building and the neighborhood and got a real taste of what it's like to live in Zurich. The building is not in the dense historic center of the city, but in a pleasant, pretty and quiet neighborhood to the west, along the steep slope above the Limmat River. It's a very easy 15 minute bus or tram ride into the center from a stop located just down the street. There are good grocery stores and whatnot at the center of the neighborhood, just one tram stop further out (or a five minute walk) along the main street. And there's plenty of good dining at various points along the tram line between the apartment and downtown -- particularly at Escher-Wyss-Platz and Dammweg. The apartment itself is spacious and pleasant. It's a ground floor unit with lots of good landscaping outside and a patio for outdoor dining. It feels very private even with the blinds open (except maybe when the landscape crew shows up once a week). We found some good playgrounds nearby for our daughter and used the two nearby public swimming pools as well. We were there so long, our toddler started to complain that she missed home. Now that we are home, she has sometimes told us she misses the apartment in Zurich. Rotten kid! Stores we enjoyed in the neighborhood included Zweifel winery, Mada Bal (knick-knacks) and Canto Verde.
