    Noisy street and windows needed to be open since there wasn't AC, so it was very loud. Also the kitchen window or shutters were sealed shut, not as advertised. The bed could have used more pillows, and also a headboard - basically you were expected to lean right against the wall paint.

    Clean apartment, comfortable bed, good water pressure

    The apartment is old and very creaky. the bathroom door was hard to close as well. The heating didn't work so after some follow-up I got personal heaters. There were not enough lights in one of the bedrooms so had to move around the lamps to fix it. The bed was also not comfortable.

    The apartment was quite spacious and had a well-equipped kitchen. The tram station and bus stop was right outside the apartment building so it was very convenient to travel around the city.

    The window does not close complete. There were renovations going on in the street and because of that it was very noisy. The curtains in the room are very old

    The tram is just outside of the apartment. Close to the city attractions just one ride and grocery store and some restaurants.

    Although it was clean and quite spacious, there were deficiencies in the household items and equipment. This greatly reduces the comfort of the stay. For example, although there was space in the room, a full-length mirror and a sofa were not placed. There is no locker to put your stuff. Since there was no wardrobe, they only put a pedestal hanger to put the clothes. Think like that. A room with just a bed and lamps. Ps: I also requested an extra pillow for my sleep quality since the current ones in the apartment were so thin. There were only one pillow for the each guest. ( I mean there were only 2 pillows, very thin. We were 2) They rejected that saying it is imposible and mentioned that this is the first time they got feedback like that. Their attitude was not solution oriented.

    The location is so good that you can even walk to the main train station in 30-35 minutes if you want. The apartment is quite spacious for 2 people. It consists of a kitchen, a room and a bathroom. And it was quite clean.

    Frankly speaking NOTHING but 🥰🥰 memories.

    Apartment is bang on main road & hardly 1 minute walk from nearest Goldbrunnenplatz tram & bus station. Apartment is clean with nice clean rooms & kitchen. Almost all restaurants are nearby & main station Zurich HB has direct bus routes with bus No. 14 etc. Excellent ! I would rate my stay with family as finest & memorable. I have suggested my friends for same as well.

    I had a poor experience staying in this apartment for two nights. The apartment is very old and in desperate need of renovation. One of the bedroom windows was damaged and could not be closed curtains, which made it uncomfortable. In the kitchen, all the windows remained open because they were also damaged, and the curtains were in poor condition, so we couldn't close them. one of the chairs in the kitchen was broken. Overall, the apartment did not meet expectations due to these issues. I would not recommend staying here unless significant repairs and improvements are made.

    I could hardly get in to the building. The key that was left for me in the key box was not the correct key for the front door. I found a random key left in a metal tube right next to the entrance, that was the only key opened the door. Information was given with the check in was not accurate. If I had not found the keys by myself I would have never managed to get into the building. It's shocking for the amount of money that I paid for my stay.
