I recommend staying at Remo’s place. It’s a cute little attic apartment with a basic kitchen and small bathroom. It had everything I needed for a week’s stay in Zurich for work. There’s a lovely view from one window towards the lake and Uetliberg and the neighborhood is terrific. It’s a 5 min walk to the lake and 5 mins on the tram to Bellevue or 15 mins to the main train station (tram 4). Note, tall people may find the sloping walls a challenge and you have to carry your luggage up five floors worth of stairs. Remo was quick to respond to any queries and he kindly accepted my booking with an hour’s notice after another booking went wrong. Thank you!
