About this property

Hottingen, Uni area: 3 Bedrooms, 3 full baths, elegant & bright Apt. Freiestr.

House built in 1873, entire 2nd (or 3rd depending on how you count) floor, freshly renovated in 2006, elegant, spacious and bright 3- bedroom Apartment on Zurichberg, near Hottingerplatz, huge 200 square meters. Apt. has original hardwood floors, a wood-burning stove, piano, full of antiques. The 3 modern bathrooms offer 2 showers, and 1 bathtub, apt. has washer/dryer, modern kitchen full of everything you'll need, comfy beds with big feather pillows, all linens and 2 private balconies in the nicest part of Zurich, central to everything Zürich has to offer. A quick walk to the Kunsthaus Museum, Bellevue, downtown.

In one of the largest bedrooms we can easily set up a single bed or a baby crib for a total party of 7 adults and 1 child.

The neighborhood of Hottingen is close to all University Hospitals, the University + ETH, the Art Museum, Bellevue, the Opera House, Lake of Zurich, Botanical gardens, forest, etc.

You will not need a car while you are here. You are just a train, bus, boat, bike,cable car or streetcar's ride away from countless points of interest: breathtaking alpine trips, dips into alpen lakes, along Zürich's bustling streets are hundreds of galleries, restaurants, sidewalk cafes, nightclubs, discos, and theaters; visit Zurich's renown concert halls, opera house, zoological gardens, museums, sporting and cultural events followed by dining on swiss specialties.

Located just a 7-min.walk from Bellevue, the lake, the forest, the downtown area. Amazing location.


Take a quick hike up the nearby Uetliberg Mt. which overlooks the whole city and lake of Zürich. You are also a brisk walk down to the crystal clear 30 mile long Lake of Zürich (which can also be circled by bike!), or a quick ride up to the forest and famous Dolder 'wave' pool or ice skating rink for a totally refreshing change from the fast pace. Bargain shop along Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse, Europe's most exclusive shopping mile.

An elegant apartment in a house built in 1873, 120-year old hardwood floors, generously large rooms, comfortable bed with king-sized pillows, a balcony for two with flowers and plants, and a small yard downstairs.

The guest will be torn between staying at home or exploring the culinary and cultural adventures Zurich has to offer.

Zürich can be home base to a wide range of destinations. Two major ski areas within an hour's trip are Hoch Ybrig or Flumserberg. For high alpen skiing areas count a 2-hr. trip. You are three hours from both Verona via Milan and Munich. The Black Forest of Germany, Geneva, the Austrian, French, or Italian boarders are only a trip away, trains generally leaving once per hour. Only 45 minutes to the famous city of Lucerne. In Zürich you are literally situated in the heart of Europe, yet may enjoy the cosmopolitan life the citizens of Zürich cherish!

COMFORTABLE APARTMENT
Crista the host was an amazing person and could not do enough for you to make your stay enjoyable. Crista was helpful in every way and even did our washing for us. We had 4 nights there and were very pleased with the accommodation and apartment was also quite central to most places. Would stay there again if we have the opportunity.

Wonderful Haven
Our extended family of 8, loved staying in Crista and Stefan’s apartment. It was beautiful and very spacious. A wonderful haven of comfort after busy days exploring. We had everything we needed. The location is exceptional; close to town and transport. We walked to town and the lake often. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating. I would love to stay here again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

VERY comfortable apartment in Zurich
This apartment was amazing...spacious and comfortable. It has 2 bedrooms with a 3rd room with a murphy bed. The modern kitchen was a surprise and the living room has a balcony that overlooks a private courtyard. We stayed for 8 days and it was so nice coming "home" from a day of exploring Switzerland! The apartment is on a very quiet street and there are 2 metro stops within a 2 minute walk. We would definitely stay again.

A Excellent Stay in Zurich
We spent 10 days here in September 2015. It was fabulous. The location is excellent - a close walk to trams or the train - which take you everywhere you need to go -and/or a 15 minute walk to the old part of Zurich (with great restaurants), the lake, river, or the main shopping street. It is in a lovely residential neighbourhood, with grocery stories conveniently located nearby. Many of the main tourist sites, including the wonderful Kunstmuseum, are within walking distance. The apartment has everything you would need, including a well equipped kitchen and lovely deck off the large bedroom. Even the bed is really comfortable! The apartment has a lot of space for a one bedroom. We arrived at night, but there were breakfast fixings (eggs, croissants, milk) in the kitchen so we had something to eat the next morning, which was very thoughtful. The owners were very welcoming and helpful - a wonderful source of knowledge about Zurich and the surrounding countryside. All in all, you cannot go wrong with this property. You will not be disappointed!

Great hosts
Steve and Crista were gracious hosts and met us at the train station to give us a ride back to the apartment. We enjoyed getting acquainted with them during our week stay. They made sure we had everything we needed and were helpful with ideas for exploring Zurich. We were there in July, and it was unusually warm for Zurich, but the apartment was always pleasant. The apartment was located in a very nice neighborhood of Zurich. It was also a short walk (a few blocks) to several tram stops with easy access to anywhere you would want to go. It was very close to the University area with many nice markets. Zurich is a beautiful city on a beautiful lake, and we would love to go back some day.
