My friend and I stayed at Filipa's place for three nights. It was the perfect base to explore Zurich without being in the hectic tourist areas. We walked into the old town from there and also used the excellent transport network to get into nearby Rapperswil for the day.
There are some lovely restaurants, coffee shops and wine bars in the area. And we shopped at the nearby supermarket (five minute walk) for basics and dinner which we cooked at the apartment.
Would definitely recommend for exploring Zurich or even for a work trip.
