A comfortable stay, in a spacious apartment, near by the University. Kitchen setup is adequate to prepare basic meals; only a dual cooktop, no grill/ oven. surprisingly there were no coffee mugs and only one set of cutlery, despite being otherwise well appointed for a couple to stay.

Would like a refund, it was so gross, didn't look like what I paid for overall. It felt unsafe and the room was so gross I couldn't even lay down in the bed no a good choice so expensive too
The flat I stayed had a good view and its bed was comfortable. However, it was hard to open cover of washing machine and inside of dishwasher had bad smell.

First, I'd like to thank you for having this space, where we can share our impressions and protect the unwary.
Everything I've described below is intended as constructive criticism.
The lack of cordiality and poor communication sum up my perception of this place!
Since everything is done virtually, good communication is essential.
The host doesn't respond to emails, doesn't answer calls…! When messages are sent, they're standard.
If you're staying at this place, be aware that nothing can go wrong; otherwise, it's difficult to resolve with the owner.
Not to mention other details like a four-burner stove that only works, no dish sponge, no dish towel… etc.
I don't know if the owner can come here to explain with pre-written phrases that it's good to have this feedback… In any case, I honestly don't believe that, as it's in his nature; he just transmits this personality to his customer service.

When I enter the property, the smell in the room was choking me. I could not open the window or that mental thing in the window. Inside was clean but the smell was terrible. It's very far from the train station and the room was all the way from 4th floor or 5th floor without a lift. Very inconvenient for me , especially if you have a heavy luggage . I left after 20 mins in this room, I wasn't happy at all. I emailed Expedia about my experience for this property. I check in to another property which i was satisfied.

Perfect if you don’t plan to be in the room
The place was fine. It was budget friendly and close to the city center with a tram stop very close. If you’re looking for suggestions on Switzerland accommodation, a tram stop being close was great. The shower overflows so fast and the curtains are laying in the water. The bathroom is so small it’s hard to function, and the balcony has a huge puddle of water that smells bad. The balcony has one chair that you can sit on if you want to jump the puddle. We didn’t stay in the room much unless we were sleeping.

The bedding was stained with body waste including menstural blood and urine. There were holes in doors and light fixtures without bulbs. There was nothing to wash or dry dishes with. If we had known any of the above we would not have booked a stay at this property.

Good location and good price for Zürich, just ok
First I have to mention we were there during a heat wave, without that the stay would have been more pleasant. Our studio was on the top floor, so it was really hot. There is no air conditioning, which I knew, but also the shutters on one of the windows were permanently shut, so we could not create a draft to cool down during the night. Some of the other apartments had balconies, so I assume they had better options for airing out. There is a cute little patio at the back of the house, but we did not stay long enough to use it. The Apartment was facing the busy street with the tram, so it was kind of noisy, since we had to have the windows open.
The apartment is very functional, but a bit worn. Everything was clean, this is Switzerland, but there was no love in the place, just functionality.
Getting the key with the automated system worked great and was very easy, good instructions.
Zürich is extremly expensive, so we were glad we found this place so conveniently located, but for the same amount of money in Hamburg, I stayed at a very nice hotel.
Liked the fact that the local bus stop was right outside the apartment complex.
Disliked the dirty stairs that led up to the apartment. Once inside, closed the door and the inside door handle fell to the floor. My husband was able to fix that. There were 2 glasses, different sizes, some cutlery but no forks, no bowls, no pots or pans. The shelf in the fridge would not stay in the runners, The bathroom door was badly banged up, the towel rack was hanging and unable to use. The bedroom door, meant as a sound barrier had a panel missing in the door.
I took pictures and if there is a way I will attach them to this review!!!

Das Zimmer hat alles, was es braucht. Die Lage ist super. Gleich nebenan die Tramhaltestelle und man ist schnell in der Stadt oder am Bahnhof/ Flughafen.
Die Matratze ist etwas weich und das Zimmer hat eine ordentliche Reinigung nötig. Der Boden war sehr staubig und die Ablageflächen in der Kochecke sind klebrig. Ein Rolladen ist defekt.
Um den Keycode zu bekommen musste ich mehrfach telefonieren da die E-Mail nicht ankam. In der Unterkunft war einer der Rollläden kaputt und konnte nicht hochgezogen werden. Daher sehr dunkel im Zimmer. Im Bad war keine Glühbirne in der Fassung, ich musste mit offener Tür und dem Licht aus dem Zimmer duschen. Bei offenen Fenstern in der Nacht ziemlich laut da an einer viel befahrenen Straße. Sauberkeit war gut.
