Tania’s place was great. It was one of the most affordable places I found in Zurich. You’re not right in the main town but we walked to the heart of the city within 30 minutes and along the lake, no less. There’s also a super convenient tram stop a block from the building that can take you to the main train station or anywhere in the city very easily.
The apartment was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable too. There’s no basic food items stocked (or any basic toiletry items) so you’ll need to get those (salt, pepper, oil) if you plan on cooking. We bought nespresso pods for the machine and that worked out great, but ate out for most meals.
There’s a sweet little cafe right next door that has great quiche. And there’s also close bars, restaurants, and a small grocery store a quick walk away.
If you don’t need to be in the heart of it all, this is a great place without the crazy price tag!
