During my exchange semester in Switzerland I stayed at this furnished and yet very modern Aparthotel in Winterthur. The apartment is spacious and has all what you need… During my six month stay I never encountered any issue. The manager is very nice and always available to help with any questions. What makes it even more attractive is the fact that very close to it there is the best Pizzeria in Town. You get what you pay hence the monthly rent is fully justified! Highly recommendable for short and long term stays…
We have nothing but compliments for our stay at Vivo35. This apartment was our home for almost eight months, and it exceeded all our expectations. The landlords, Mr. Veseli and Mr. Reichlin, were incredibly attentive and promptly resolved any issues that arose, making our stay worry-free. One of the standout features was the convenience of having everything provided, from cutlery to an ironing board. The apartment is clean, modern, and equipped with everything one might need, with all bills included. It truly made our transition seamless and comfortable. We highly recommend Vivo35 for anyone looking for a hassle-free, fully equipped living space with exceptional landlords. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!
vivo 35 has been on my radar for years. Basked with the same energy as McDonald’s, they were the only one that had a room in the building and not outside it. Once inside, the room was full of old men who had been there for years. They had been living together since their first time in this city. I played basketball with them in the common room area, and then swiftly got tired and went to bed among top their own sweaty feet. Fantastic stay in the area, among Winti’s best!
For three years, I lived as a very satisfied tenant in this truly well-designed and excellently equipped furnished apartment. It's modern, has many clever details (adjustable lighting, swivel TV, exterior blinds, Bluetooth ceiling speakers), a standard basement storage unit, elevator access, and basic household amenities. The landlords are exceptionally nice, always quick to respond to minor (perfectly normal) technical issues, always very professional, and incredibly friendly. Vivo35 Boardinghouse was my "home away from home," and I had a fantastic time. I can wholeheartedly recommend Vivo35 to anyone looking for comfortable, centrally located, and simply pleasant and convenient accommodation for the foreseeable future. Many thanks to the consistently exemplary landlords! P.S. And the security deposit, which one reviewer complained about, was absolutely no problem—it was back in my bank account the day after I checked out, and without even the negative interest rates that are so common these days for cash deposits :-)
+ Central location + Spacious, modern kitchen + Plenty of storage space + Basement storage unit + Bicycle parking in front of the building ~ Fast internet via LAN, but unsecured Wi-Fi with high latency - Want to keep the security deposit in a private account (not legal, see Swiss Code of Obligations Art. 257e). When asked, the alternative is to open a security deposit account oneself, which involves the administrative effort. - Several people possess master keys (passports) with access to the apartment without even informing the tenant. The landlord reacted aggressively when asked if a passport existed (statement: "We own this building! Of course we have a passport!"). The Swiss Homeowners Association (HEV) stated (quote): "The landlord may only keep a key or passport if the tenant expressly agrees. Anyone who enters a rental property without the tenant's consent is trespassing." - Very poor sound insulation from the stairwell/courtyard. Especially troublesome on weekends, and sometimes during the week too, when drunk people shout and yell at night, waking you up. - Generally unpleasant contact with a very unfriendly landlord who is clearly only after a quick buck. - They demand an "administrative fee" of CHF 150 for rentals of less than 3 months, instead of agreeing on a minimum rental period as is usual. - High rent for little space. - Decent kitchen utensils are lacking (kitchen knives, colander, bowls, etc.). - Located on a very busy street with lots of noisy, showy cars.
I applied for a room on St. Gallerstrasse. The application process was very easy and efficient. The people I interacted with were very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Vivo35 AG.
