If you're looking for an affordable-ish place to stay in expensive Zurich, like our family, you may be inclined to stay at Vision Apartments. Here are some things to be aware of through our experience.
First of all, there is no AC. This is actually more common in Europe than I realized, but something travelers should be aware of. We stayed in June and it was very hot and uncomfortable. Secondly, your apartment will likely not look anything like the pictures. We were in a basement apartment with painted concrete floors and bare bones accommodations. These apartments show all the signs of corporate absentee ownership trying to maximize profit by minimizing their own expenses. There is no one on site to talk to, just QR codes to report things, and a hard-to-find number to call. To get our entry code we needed to fill out an online form that day, which didn't work, so we had to call customer service and send our passport over email which we try to avoid at all costs. When we arrived, about 45 minutes after check in, the cleaner was still there, likely due to understaffing. We reported this, and the company had a ready response -- 30% off your NEXT stay within the next year. We won't be returning. The second day we found a cockroach on the floor and reported this. The company did eventually give us a partial refund for this. Our freezer was not working, so ice cream we bought turned to soup. It was bad enough that it all became one big joke with our three girls.
