Seemed clean enough, but issues with smell when we first got there, as though moisture issues or possibly justclosed up for a long time. It was great to have laundry facilities, but it was good we brought a headlamp as there was no lights in the laundry room in the basement. Location was convenient to transit , area felt very safe. Time to update beds though as they were very hard and uncomfortable.

Great location

The place is very clean and our host had been helpful to throughout the process for communications. The area is located in a quiet place, although it stated it is above a restaurant (excellent Eritrean place by the way), the noise was hardly a bother. It is about 7-8 minute walk to transit stops. The only thing to note is definitely the stairs, there are 3 flights since the first floor isn’t really counted as floor 1. So the place would be as advertised, not suitable for people with mobility issues. We had a good time and would consider staying over again.

Please not my overall rating is 3.5/5 stars but I cannot give half stars on VRBO. The apartment stay was not unpleasant, but I would rather book a different place to fit my personal preferences. What we liked:- Our host was very quick to respond to any questions or problems. We arrived to the apartment late at night, and Filipa was reachable when we had issues with the safebox. - The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and dishware. We had to buy cooking ingredients, but that was not a problem for us. - The apartment was very quiet. No noise complaints about the restaurant below but it was closed when we were there. - We were grateful to have a washer and drier as well. Please note that it is shared washer/dryer with the entire apartment building and on the basement floor. - Apartment got a lot of light during the day and was nice and warm. - 5-10 minute walk to the nearest bus stations and about 20 minutes from central Zurich HB by public transit. - Safe neighborhood with lots of restaurants in walking distance (keep in mind that grocery stores and most businesses are closed on Sunday which we did not realize when we arrived). Our personal issues: -Steep stairs which tired out my aging mother.-The building itself had signs of water damage which made us concerned for mold and building integrity. -Very narrow bathroom (which we were all aware of in advance) so a bit uncomfortable trying to maneuver around. -One of the bed frames were broken.
