Pros: Michaela’s place is in a nice, central neighborhood. It is very close to trams 3&8 and a grocery store. It is quite spacious since you get a bedroom, a living room, and a lovely balcony. The apartment was generally clean as well. You can ask Michaela where to eat etc, she would make good recommendations.
For this reasons, I would recommend it to anyone for a _short_ stay.
Cons: It feels more like crashing in someone’s place rather than airbnb because of all the belongings that are in the apartment. You basically have no storage space (no drawers/shelves) to yourself. Even the fridge and the freezer were full of random stuff (including glue and a lot of nail polish?), and there were barely two shelves in the fridge for me to use. These were all unpleasant for me since I had to stay there for a whole month while looking for a permanent apartment to move in. Moreover, since I had just moved to Zurich, I had to apply for a residence permit. The Kreisburo required me to get a short form signed by my host, just to validate my stay. Michaela had not responded to her messages for 4 days, which got me very stressed since the application had to be done within 14 days of arrival. She responded and signed it in the end, and it all turned out okay, but I think airbnb hosts should not ever leave their guests in the dark for 4 days, at least not without even saying “sorry”... so I would not count on her too much on reachability.
