I was able to stay at Petra's place for a month this summer due to the need to be in Zurich for work. It was a great location; only a three minute walk to the Zurich Binz station and a slightly longer walk (but still quite close) to the Laubegg stop. The house was nicely outfitted with all you would need to "live normally". The kitchen had all of the appliances you would need, kitchen gadgets, and plenty of utensils/plates/pans. There was a microwave, coffee machine and dishwasher as well, which makes things easy. There is also a nice laundry room in the basement that Petra made available for me to use. The flat has a lovely garden in the front, with cherry trees and raspberry bushes, so you can be outdoors when the weather is nice. The neighborhood is very residential, so it is quiet, but you are still very close to the center of the city and the main train station. There are several grocery stores, restaurants, and bakeries close by. The flat was extremely clean and well maintained. Petra and her family were welcoming and lovely during my stay and I highly recommend Petra's place if you are going to be in Zurich.
