The room and private bath were very comfortable and clean. The room overlooks their amazing rooftop garden, and the hosts were very pleasant. I appreciate them opening their home to visitors.
It's always best to check-in to a new place before dark, but the timing of my flight and the fact that it gets dark very early in Zurich in the winter, posed a challenge. Since the apartment buildings look very much alike, even in the daytime, it was a bit daunting in the dark. Thomas did warn me and even offered to walk to the train station to meet me, which was a very kind offer. In retrospect, I should have accepted it. If he had been with me, perhaps the dogs would have been less rambunctious upon my arrival.
Thomas' place is in a good location. Zurich is a walkable city and the public transportation near Thomas is excellent.
