"This Loft with lake view. When we stayed there, it was just on national Fest in Swiss. At night with fireworks over the lake🎇 it is really nice"

Unsafe
Nothing. I asked for a refund after staying for 45 minutes.
The lights did not work. The internet did not work. The tenants of the building wrote graffiti stating their dislike of travelers. The heat was way too high. The entry way was full of clutter and trash furniture

A stressful stay due to unjustified charges and very poor communication.
l'emplacement, la grandeur de l'apparement
⚠️ Please be very careful regarding additional charges and debit authorizations The main payment is made through Booking, but the city tax is requested separately after the reservation. In reality, this is a debit authorization, which means they can charge your account at a later date. In my case, I had initially considered accommodating more than two people. I was then informed that an additional fee would apply for one or two extra guests — which is normal and acceptable. Ultimately, those guests never came, and we respected the apartment’s capacity (2 guests only). Despite this, an amount of 228 CHF was charged in advance based on a number of guests who never actually stayed. The information regarding this was very poorly indicated in the reservation details. The most problematic aspect was the communication: my messages regarding this charge did not receive a clear response. The specific question about the basis and justification for this amount was consistently avoided. I ultimately had to file a dispute through my bank, which reimbursed me. The owner did not process the refund directly, so I had to resolve the matter through my bank myself. I find this handling unprofessional and highly questionable. Please be particularly vigilant regarding the city tax and any debit authorization. As for the apartment itself: it matches the price paid, although the cleanliness could be improved.

Overall, the stay felt overpriced and lacked the comfort and hospitality expected at this price point.
The location was decent and close to public transportation, which made getting around relatively easy.
The apartment felt extremely basic for the price. Each guest was provided only one small pillow and one towel for a four-night stay, with no sheet or towel changes. One tiny blanket per bed, so if you’re there with a friend, you’re gonna have to get cozy together, which is weird. There were no basic kitchen essentials like salt and pepper, and the space lacked warmth or proper furnishing — mismatched chairs, not enough seating for all guests, no television, and minimal decor. The living area felt empty and uninviting. Additionally, there was an open area in the back with what appeared to be worn furniture exposed to the rain, which gave an uncomfortable impression. The most frustrating issue was the additional guest fee of 50 CHF per person per night, which felt excessive and disproportionate compared to the overall cost of the stay. They didn’t try to sneak in another hundred dollar cleaning fee that I already paid through my booking service so I had to tell them about that, then they removed it so make sure you’re double checking that if you book here! I honestly would’ve rather spend another hundred or two for a different place. One of the showers was also broken. This place does not include AC. They didn’t include any basics toiletries, besides toilet paper and hand soap. I don’t know I’ve stayed in over 15 different Airbnb’s and this was by far the most disappointing, especially for being in the most beautiful country I’ve ever been to. The kitchen light didn’t work. They literally had a lamp that you had to manually switch on and off same with the bedrooms. Check-in is at 4 PM and check out is at 10 AM which is odd as well but overall give this a 3 out of 10.

Quick in and out...
There was a lot of hot water. Good location.
There was no working heat upstairs in the big bedroom and loft. The coffee pot was only whole bean and towels disgusting. We found fake eyelashes in one towel and dead bugs in coffee pot.

At this price point, basic cleanliness, maintenance, and comfort should not be negotiable.
Keys were easy to find however the lock on the main entry to the flats got jammed and took about 10 min of wiggling the key and pressing on the door to unlock at one point.
Unfortunately, this property did not meet the standards described in the listing, especially considering the premium price paid for New Year’s Eve. Two bedrooms had heating issues during winter conditions—one heater did not function at all, and another could not be adjusted due to a missing valve. Cleanliness was a major concern: there were cobwebs throughout the apartment, sticky and stained floors, mold in the shower, toothpaste on a bathroom wall, and a dirty knife left in the kitchen sink upon arrival. Several maintenance and safety issues were also present, including a shower door that would not open properly and appeared close to falling off its track, electrical outlets hanging loose from the wall, and general signs of disrepair. One bathroom also had no curtain, leaving clear visibility to neighboring buildings, which was uncomfortable. The kitchen was advertised as fully stocked but was not. Much of the cutlery was bent or damaged. The dining area furniture was mismatched and inappropriate for a dining space, including a computer chair, which detracted significantly from the experience. The living room couch was visibly dirty with multiple large stains. Only one bedroom, the room closest to the lake, was in acceptable condition. Overall, the apartment fell well short of expectations in terms of cleanliness, comfort, and maintenance. Given the location, this property has potential, but significant improvements are needed before it can justify the price charged.

OK for a place to sleep but otherwise very spartan. Would not recommend.
Location was convenient for getting to city centre, Reitberg Museum and seeing family in Kilchberg. Flat was warm (actually too warm) with plenty of hot water.
It's not a one bedroom apartment - more like a STUDIO apartment - big difference when you're sleeping in the same room as another person. Kitchen cupboards were bare of anything. Kettle provided but not even a sachet of instant coffee. In the end did not use the kitchen or fridge at all. The radiators were dusty and needed a good clean. The building entrance foyer was messy with lots of advertising flyers and free papers. Just litter really. No extractor fan in bathroom. Shower over bath is very old fashioned and not suitable for older people. Only 2 pillows between 2 people. Furniture in studio was oddly arranged. Wooden floors and no rugs. No TV (not a problem for me but others might object). WiFi useless - very slow and unreliable.

Run away! Do not book if you are with family.
There was nothing to like.
The path to the apartment and The apartment itself. Hallway light inside apartment was not working. The dirty rooms with cobwebs and spiders crawling all around. The pillows were flat, had no filling. The comforter on the beds were both small, not suitable for adults. Definitely was not possible for two people to share. No hand towels for washroom. Limited body towels. The broken and mix matched chairs with a wooden dining table was completely different from what was pictured when we booked the apartment. The broken old garbage bin under the kitchen sink. The lack of garbage bins in the rest of the house. The dirty kitchen, plates, pots and utensils. The dirty oven, which took forever to heat up but failed to heat up the food. Lack of oven mitts, my wife ended up burning her finger on the side of the oven trying to get food out (which was still cold).
