It is a lovely apartment in the attic floor, with high ceilings, balcony and generous space. It has one bedroom with a double bed and a couch, one bath with bathtub and large living space with fully equipped kitchen and lots of light. No elevator. It is located in a very calm house with lovely neighbors and beautiful shared garden.
We live in Altstetten, a lovely calm neighbourhood 15 min by bike from the centre of Zurich. It is full of families with children and very near to the forest and the river (it is a must to go swimming there!). Only a short walk to anything you need- cafe, groceries, post office, public swimming pool, train station etc. Public transportation (tram, bus, trains) are very close. Beautiful farmer's market every Saturday on the square in walking distance from the apartment. The river is about 5 min by bike, Zurich lake 15 min by bike. The best hikes in the mountains are 1-2 hours by car/ train. There is a farm within a walking distance from the apartment, with the most beautiful sunsets and local goodies to buy (plums, apples, milk etc).
