This is a lovely walk-up unit in the trendy Langstrasse neighborhood of Zurich, and which has an expansive rooftop deck. The interior of the unit has been updated, but also includes original charm and character of an older building.
The flooring is beautiful, though we had to be careful of the raised transitions between rooms, which wasn't a problem. The toilet is half a flight down from the rest of the unit, with the shower room on the same level. There are two large bedrooms, and one smaller, so perfect for a family of four.
Krone was easy to communicate with and when we tried to book, he was forthcoming about the steps and that the apartment is in the heart of the nightlife district. This point shouldn't be overlooked.
The first night (a Friday) we were there, it was very hot so we had to leave the windows (which were very high quality) open to cool the place down. There's a very popular nightclub across the street that opens at 11 and which seems to hit its stride between 2 and 3 in the morning. The noise from the crowd waiting to enter the club was cacophonic and constant all night long. With earplugs, I was able to sleep, but was interrupted throughout the night.
The second night it was cooler, so we shut the windows and that dampened the noise substantially. The windows appeared to be triple paned so they were very effective. That, plus earplugs did the trick.
As with most trendy neighborhoods, there is a ready supply of good restaurants close by, as well as a market and full grocery store just two blocks away.
The train station is less than 10 minutes by foot, and old town less than 20 minutes.
All in all, a good introduction to Zurich and a friendly host.
