Hello, please feel welcome at my 3 - room apartment in central Zürich, next to Main Station.
I work in health care just outside of Zürich. Am interested in photography, cinema, history, travelling, art. Happy to show you around or give some excellent tips.
Comfortable bright, old stylish, built 1897, charming flat, just 8 min. from central train/bus station at Sihlquai. Save on fares! One bedroom for 2 pers., you will stay in the same room. Extra 1 or 2 persons, so 4 in total, in other bedroom. Extra new babybed available. Ask for conditions. Personalized decoration in bedrooms. Shared bathroom and natural light flooded living room, fully equiped kitchen, sunny balcony. Flex. check-in before noon ( 30,- CHF fee) or very late check-out to fully enjoy last day! So different from the anonymous, rigid time & code checkin places , with austere decoration.
My old style but charming 1897 stone brick, wooden floor apartment is amidst hipster @ design quarter 5, former Zürich industrial area, just 8Min Walking from Zürich main train and bus station. Near all main attractions of Zürich that means: short walk to historical center, Bahnhofstrasse, Kunsthaus, the lake, Clubbing areas & bars in districts four and five. River Limmat 2Min. to take a refreshing dip May throughout September on warm summer days. A lot of international rest. and bars nearby, Kino/cinema RiffRaff, a major post office, supermarkets and a lot of diverse, international grocery shops. Tram and bus stop round the corner, fluid public transport takes you everywhere. Very convenient to explore nearby regions and cities as Main Station only 500m away. So practical when arriving/leaving early or very late at the station, save money, no Need for a taxi. Just walk or use my Skaters / trottinet.
