Zürich, Schweiz

Calm flat at a nice square with fountain and french café/restaurant, lively neighborhood, authentic; situated in the middle of the city. Many attractions within walking distance: museums, lake and river (especially if you like swimming), parks and playgrounds, restaurants, cinemas, forest and fireplaces, …

You reach most destinations within Zurich by foot or bike. All other places in and around the city as well as throughout Switzerland you reach very easily by public transport. Stations to all directions are 2 minutes from our apartement, from there you are in 3 minutes at the main station.

Historically the district 4 (as well as district 5 right on the other side of the railway/bridge "Hardbrücke") has been a working class neighborhood. You can still recognize it in some old industrial buildings mostly being cultural places now (e.g.: Schiffbau, Markthalle/Viadukt in district 5) and in the typical architecture of the houses. In the meanwhile both districts are multicultural quarters with a lot of creative people living and working here.

Even if you reach nightlife hotspots within a few minutes by foot, our direct neighbourhood is quiet. There are a lot of families living here. In our yard we have a common playground and some chickens the kids living around the yard are responsible for.
