Monica's flat was the perfect place from which to base our explorations of Zurich. The space is charming and spacious and filled with quirky touches. In the morning we'd walk across the street to the bakery for pastries and then make coffee with Monica's Bialetti. At night we'd sit on the balcony and drink wine. The neighborhood itself is somewhat up-and-coming, and we enjoyed getting to know its numerous shops and restaurants. Monica recommended some of her favorite eateries (that we never would've found otherwise) which were all delicious. It's a 5-10 minute ride from the flat to downtown on the #3 tram, and we made the trip numerous times a day. Monica herself was friendly and attentive, always emailing quickly whenever we had questions and going above-and-beyond to make us feel at home.
