Out time in Zurich was short and wish we had more time to explore, but we could not have asked for a more clean, comfortable and completely accessorized space to spend our two nights. James our host was awesome the entire step of the way. The location was great and is just steps from numerous food options and a short scenic stroll down to all the lakefront amenities. If Zurich is ever in our plans again we’d go back here is a heartbeat. Thank you James….it was everything as advertised which is so appreciated!!!

We really loved staying in this apartment. It has absolutely everything a traveler may need. Hosts went out of their way to make sure that our stay was a comfortable one. Parking under the building was a great convenience, and a little garden outside was so charming. We wish we could stay longer!

This property is centrally located in the old town, close to all the important attractions but quiet and almost rural in feel, with a sunny balcony overlooking a wide tree-filled passageway. The apartment was immaculate and comfortably furnished, perfect for two people on a short stay, and good value for money. Communication was clear and prompt, though we never met either the host or the owner. Plenty of restaurants nearby but not inexpensive. NOTHING IN ZURCH IN INEXPENSIVE. (Note that "stocked kitchen" in the description means sticked with kitchenware not food.)

We were able to walk to Frau Münster to see Chagall's stained glass windows (& to listen to an orchestra rehearsal); to Bahnhoffstr to replace my watch battery; & to Sprüngli for a mid-afternoon snack. Walking to the Hbf was easy in the AM!

Our family of 5 (me, wife, 17, 15, 12 year olds) stayed at this apartment in Wipkingen for 4 nights. Place was just as advertised - very clean and comfortable. Rooms were a good size and plenty of space to move around. 1 bathroom was a bit of a challenge for 5 of us, but we managed. Check in was easy despite a typo in the instructions which the property managers fixed very quickly. All of the Zurich transit system is right there, and the cute cafes in Wipkingen are great to have nearby. The property is near a church which does ring its bells 4x/hour during the day (I think 07:00 - 21:00) but otherwise it was great and we would certainly stay there again.

We had a great visit in Switzerland. The apartment was exactly as advertised. It is a 3rd floor walk up and a bit cozy for 5 adults but was very nice. We loved having a light dinner on the balcony after a day of exploring Switzerland. The top floor bedrooms were a bit of an adventure for our 6' 2" son but no problem for our other kids. The washer and dryer are in the basement and as others have said the dryer is not what Americans are used to, but there is a drying rack in the apartment that we used most of the time. The neighborhood is very quiet and not very far from a tram or bus stop. Even the Zurich Oerlikon train station is not an extremely long walk. We had a great visit.
