Booking terms and conditions

- If you haven’t provided passport copies of all the guests before arriving, the checking form has to be filled out. By Swiss law we are required to collect the details of every guest.
- Pets are not allowed.
- Smoking is allowed but we kindly ask you to use the balconies, there is a smoke detector inside the apartment and it will make a very loud noise if it detects smoke.
- Turn off the lights every time you leave the apartment, this is to save energy.
- During winter, please open the windows 10 minutes during the morning and the evening especially on the bathroom, this is to prevent humidity condensation inside the house as well to let oxygen in.
- But please don't forget to close the windows when the heating is on, if you feel cold it's because the heating shuts down automatically when the windows are open. This is to save energy.
- Do not put trash in the grey containers outside of the house, the city of Zürich has very special requirements for garbage disposal. Before putting anything in those containers, it must be inside the special Züri-Säck 35lt bag from the city of Zürich, available at the supermarket. If you are comming for a short stay, please put all your rubbish in the designated areas at the kitchen.
- If the Züri-Säck is full, you can put it on the grey container in front of the garage door.
- Since we do not have an in-house cleaning maid. If you are coming for more than a week and are in need of a weekly cleaning, there is an online service called Batmaid (www.batmaid.ch) where you can hire a cleaning maid at your convenience, you can also choose to paid at the time of the booking and we will hire it for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
The check-in time is at 15:00(3:00pm) and your private code to enter the apartment only starts to work at that time, if you’re arriving early, we can store your luggage at the basement, but you can only enter the apartment at 15:00(3:00pm). The reason is because we need to clean between every guest so you can have a clean and nice apartment when you enter.
The same thing applies at the check-out time. The apartment must be empty at 10:00(am) so we can get the apartment ready for the next guest. If your flight or train leaves later, we can store your luggage, then you can come to pick it up when is your time to leave.
Exceptions to this rule can be made if we don’t have other guest leaving or arriving that same day, please ask beforehand.
