Great place to stay in Zurich with amazing access to public transport and a well-fitted flat. The room was more separate from the rest of the flat, which gave a feeling of privacy. The house was super-tidy, quiet, and Erik was a great host.

취리히 엥게역과 너무너무 가까운, 편안하게 지내기 좋은 곳 입니다. 시설도 깨끗하고 모든 것들이 다 좋았어요 :) 에어비앤비처럼 지내는곳이고 저는 주인장아저씨인 Eric과 체코에서 온 다른 여행객이랑 지냈습니다. 각 방이 멀리 떨어져있어서 지내는데 전혀 불편함은 없었고 주방에서 만나면 같이 얘기하고 이것저것 물어볼 수 있어서 너무 좋은 경험이였습니다 :):) 다음번에도 온다면 전 무조건 여기올듯요!!!
