Overall we had a wonderful stay. The location is excellent and music was a nice local touch. I was a bit confused during the check-in process, although it was resolved quickly and probably due to my lack of German and me messaging her in English.
(Backstory: I had messaged the host a week prior to my stay asking if there was any chance an early check-in was an option. She said we could check into the house anytime and provided the code. When we entered with the code (about 2 pm), the door was open and had a welcome sign on the door so we thought we were good to go. After being there about 30 minutes, we were greeted by someone (I don’t think this was Katie) who was very upset that we were in the room, as I then learned it had not been fully cleaned. At that point I realized we were probably able to check-in to the house early, but not the room itself. We felt badly for the misunderstanding and apologized. I attempted to tell her about the message with the host to explain the miscommunication/why we were in the room, but she appeared angry and did not want to entertain any conversation regarding the incident which was a tad off-putting. We immediately re-packed our bags and waited until well after the 5 pm check-in time to come back.)
Once we came back it was smooth sailing with Cedric assisting us through the check-in process. There happened to be a heat wave coming through Zürich during our stay, and Cedric was able to provide us with an electric fan for the room.
Again, the stay overall was great if you’re just looking for a place to crash. Can’t beat the location and music. Definitely head down to the quaint bar for some authentic live Swiss music if you have time. I would definitely recommend this to travelers in the same situation as us, but would just encourage thorough communication and waiting to go into the room until given the all clear.
