We had an amazing stay at Ruth's! The room was simple but very large! Location is easy to find by using the metro system. Ruth was also kind enough to give us detailed instructions on how to use the metro and how to get to her home and how to get around the city. She allowed us full use of the apartment such as the kitchen for cooking meals and all of the deck space for relaxing in the late evening. Zurich is a big, fast-paced, city with lots to do! We enjoyed spending our days on or near the lake and rivers! Swimming, bridge jumping, and the ferry we're our favorite!
A great day trip would be to head of to Luzern for a smaller town feel. Older looking, original architecture and culture! Beautiful scenery in the mountains.
