    It’s a train ride from Zurich and a bus ride from the nearest train station. This didn’t deter us from staying as we knew the location ahead of time.

    It was very comfortable and affordable. We didn’t use the kitchen but it would be so nice if you’re looking to save money and/or staying for an extended period of time. It was a short walk to the lake/beach which was lovely. The host is very welcoming and accommodating. She drove us to the train station in her own car for no charge.

    Needs to travel 10minutes from station to the property. Yet, It is value for money.

    Owner of the property is very good. Very comfortable and a location with rich views. Excellent garden in the house.

    It was great for one night. In a neighborhood with no stores or restaurants nearby.

    Comfortable and clean room. The bathrooms were clean and the kitchen had all the basic necessities. The host was incredibly kind and gave us great tips for what to do in the area.

    No negative experience.

    Our stay was absolutely perfect. We got everything we needed. Comfortable bed to sleep in, a shower room to get ourselves cleaned and a kitchen where we could eat our breakfast. We also needed WiFi which worked very well. Maggie, the hostess kindly helped us in every way. Also we needed late check-in and it was possible at 10pm. Thank you. We appreciate everything.

    The wooden floor in the room in the second floor was cracking/sounding very very loud, especially in the middle of the night when I woke up and needed to use the toilet, the creaking sound was too loud, I felt bad(guilty) to wake others in the house.

    Very friendly staff, nice home, and very nice location. The host received us very late in the evening without any issues we were able to settle down. A shared kitchen and multiple shared toilets/bathrooms were helpful.

    The place is very different from the hostels I experienced around the world. Stylish but also really cosy with very lovely and friendly owners. You find all essential things, there is a limited number of rooms so it's not that mass tourism place like HI. Still you easily meet people. You can walk for 15 minutes to the train station, but also direct hikes from the place through the wine yards and meadows are great to manage. We really enjoyed our stay and even prolonged because we liked the place so much.

    The only negative point I could say is that I couldn't lock the room. I had important photography equiptment. Other than that everything was perfect.

    The style of the House and the views to the lake were for me very cool.
