Perfect reception by Fiorenzo in this spacious apartment with a great kitchen and perfect location. The rooms were large and felt authentic and comfortable while being in the absolute center of the city. We can only recommend this location to fellow travelers (and families) looking for a nice spot to stay in Zurich. We will gladly book here again.
As already mentioned, this is an old house with maybe not the best sound and thermal isolation, if that bothers you then look elsewhere. Some minor construction work ongoing in the house but nothing that bothered us.

Comfortable and a fabulous location. Nice and warm during cold January. Easy self-check in with key box.
Charming, but nearby loud church bells ringing at 7am on a Friday morning may not be to everyone's taste.

Location was great, right in the heart of old town. Beautiful apartment with large kitchen and cosy living room. Master bedroom was comfortable and so were the sofa beds that could accomodate the kids.
If you're carrying several pieces of luggage, you've got to walk up flights of stairs. Not for those with climbing issues. You're next to a church so you'll hear constant bells, and not far off, another church, so more bells. You can't really sleep in. Master bedroom is next to a restaurant, on weekends, people stand on the streets to smoke and chat. The noise can be heard.

Character.
Location.
Interior design.
Attention to detail.
At first it was the ‘two bathrooms’ which was actually a seperate toilet and one bathroom that we thought would pose a problem.
However, within a few hours of settling in, we didn’t even notice it. The two seperate facilities worked fine- we were a family of four with two young adult ‘children’.
This isn’t really a ‘dislike’ merely an observation.

It was nice, clean, & smelled good
The one listed in Booking.com it said the number 7 on the address and that there’s an elevator but in reality it was number 5 and the Apt was on the 3rd floor! We are (4people) all seniors that had to go up the stairs with our luggages up to the 3rd floor and in the rain we were looking for #7! The person close to the apartment said that it was always a problem looking for the Apt; that people were confused finding the place!!! 😡😡😡

The location was fantastic and in the heart of old town near so much. The host met us there and couldn’t have been nicer. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Can’t say enough good things about it.
Didn’t dislike anything

Ideally located in the heart of Old Town Zurich, 5-7 minutes walk from Zurich main station. Everything is within a walking distance, 2 minutes away from Bahnhofstrasse. Beautiful apartment on the second floor, no elevators as it is in a really old building next to the church. Neat and clean ! Loved the stay. Cooking utensils can be enhanced. Will definitely come again !! Gives you real vibes of Zurich !!
As we cooked dinner and breakfast, the apartment could do with more kitchen utensils, crockery, serving spoons and serving dishes could be further added.

The apartment was beautifully decorated and perfectly clean. The amenities were many and much appreciated. The location could not be better and the owners were quick to respond when we had a question

A Magical Stay in the Heart of Zurich’s Old Town
Our stay in this charming heritage apartment was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled right in the heart of Zurich’s enchanting Old Town, the location could not have been more perfect—just steps away from quaint cafés, historical landmarks, and the serene beauty of the Limmat River.
The apartment itself is a true gem. Immaculately preserved with original architectural details, yet tastefully updated with all the modern comforts, it effortlessly blends old-world charm with contemporary elegance.
Everything was spotless upon arrival, and it’s clear that great care is taken to maintain both cleanliness and ambiance. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive,
If you’re looking for a unique and memorable place to stay in Zurich that offers both character and comfort, this heritage apartment is an absolute must.

The apartment is beautiful and in a prime location. The host was so accommodating and let us checkin early with our two babies after a long flight. He had a crib setup ready for us and waters in the fridge.
We stayed during a weekend and it was very loud at night. We could have used some earplugs or a warning. During the week it was fine.

Gorgeous building, very stylish. Clean and comfortable for family of 4. Loved all the preserved historical details in the building. Host was very responsive and hospitable. There was even a piece of chocolate for each of us. Would love to stay again when our stay is longer.

Very quirky place in a great location. Well equipped, comfortable and clean.
Great location but close to Europes biggest clock face so if you’re not good at blocking out bell chimes maybe not the place for you. Winter isn’t so bad but summer with the windows open might be a bit loud.

The apartment was very well equipped. It was very comfortable. There was lots of space. And so ideally located in the old town
There was everything we needed, although some shower products would have been nice, shampoo, shower gel, etc

This was our second stay at the property. Betina messaged before we arrived and so we could collect the key on arrival. The apartment is very spacious, clean and well appointed. It is perfect for a stay in the centre of Zurich, and Betina is very helpful and attentive.
We love the sound of the church bells at 7pm and 7am, though may not be to everyone's taste!
I can't think of any improvements.

The apartment was spacious. The bed in the main bedroom was comfortable. The sofa beds were comfortable too. Plenty of sunlight throughout the day. Although the property is surrounded by shops and people, it was still quiet and peaceful at night with the windows closed. The sound of the clock can be heard hourly but it is not too disturbing.
For us, it was difficult to find the property. We found '7 Glockengaase' on the main path (with shops on either side) but initially there did not appear to be a door for entry. We went through a narrow alleyway to the other side and found a door with '5' written above and to the right of the door. I did not know that this was the door to the apartment (which is two flights of stairs up from the ground floor).
We did not have a local SIM card on my phone so was not aware that the host had already contacted me earlier on that day via Booking.com. The people working in the shops were kind. They went out of their way to help me find 'Goethe House'. But they did not know where the main door was. Finally, a young man in 8 Glockengaase phoned the host on my behalf and the host finally met us outside the 'Tiki bar' to give us the keys.
If you book this accommodation (very much recommended), I recommend that you contact the host beforehand so that you can agree on the time for collecting the keys.

Perfect location - restaurants and bars at your doorstep and right next to shopping. But at the same time total silence in the appartment. The appartment is also so beautiful - fully modern but with an old style luxury feeling! The hosts are the best and so helpfull and hospital!

Необычные апартаменты с очень своеобразной планировкой в самом сердце старого города со всеми своими прелестями и недостатками
В начале очень трудно было найти вход ,так как написано номер дома 7,но на самом деле-это 5 ,но мы обратились к хозяйке апартаментов и она сразу вышла нас встретить .Рядом был ресторан и поздним вечером ,когда там пускали салюты поспать не сильно удавалось ,а рано рано утром мы просыпались от чудесного нескончаемого боя колоколов 😊.У квартиры очень своеобразная планировка и напор воды в душе был слабый,НО…… во всем этом была своя прелесть ,так как мы в полной мере на короткий период времени почувствовали себя древними жителями Цюриха.Так что,если вы хотите прочувствовать всю прелесть жизни Старого города -Вам сюда!!! К стати -хозяйка очаровательная девушка,которая всегда на связи и готова помочь!
