Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Excellent public transport. 2 minutes to the tram stop, 9 minutes to the main train station by public transport. Several children's playgrounds are within walking distance. Our house is just a few meters from the river "Limmat" where you can swim in summer as well as in winter after using our private sauna, even with small children, as there is practically no current there. Our house has a sofa bed for two people in the basement, a double bed on the 1st floor and a double bed plus 1 single bed in the attic (including toilet).
