Christine is a very friendly and helpful host. It was very easy to communicate with her (in English), like most of the natives/people in the city. Very reasonable room rate for Zurich and her place is very close to the city centre and it is also very short walk to the tram stop (under a minute).
I had a great time here and would recommend because it is a friendly/nice/helpful host and very convenient location. Also Christine always had bread/jam/tea/coffee/milk available for her guests so there was always something for breakfast; and access to the kitchen pots/pan use of dish washer etc. Also the kitchen and bathroom/toilet (both shared) were clean and well maintained.
The furniture/decor/flooring of the ground and first floor is old/dated and give the look of over use (maybe unclean) and I did find that the bed linen did have stain marks. Perhaps if I had asked, the host would have kindly changed the sheets but I though it would be rude to ask and point out stained sheets. Also I just hoped it was just washed stains that were not coming out and carried on.
There are several rooms available in this house on airBnB and so there is always possibility to bump into other guests and in general I think it impacts on the general atmosphere and upkeep of a place as compared to someone who rents just one room in their home and therefore it is perhaps more well maintained.
All in all a good experience and would recommend- Christine is a very nice and helpful host and (despite some decor/upkeep issues) this place has all the conveniences and amenities a person would need including a helpful host. Ideally would give this place 4.9 out of 5 :-)
