Hello all!

My husband and I are searching for an apartment with the following features:

*Between 60-100 sq. meters.
*A monthly rent of no more than 2,000 CHF, including Nebenkosten.
*Close to the city center (about 15 minutes away by tram, train, or bus is fine).
*We would prefer a furnished place, but will happily consider unfurnished places as well.
*Our ideal move-in date is Nov. 1, but we can relocate anytime before the end of December 2006.

A bit more information about us: we don't smoke, have pets, or need a parking place.

Any information or leads would be greatly appreciated! Please contact Rachel at rachel.shubert@gmail.com or 076 499 5991. Thanks!

Have you tried comparis or homegate?

Both can be viewed in English and I have seen things listed with immediate availability on both sites (we have been looking for a flat ourselves so I've spent a lot of time on those sites lately).

If you need something quickly, your best bet is really to do a concerted search on a site like those that feature flat listings.

Thanks for the advice, Music Mole. I have been working with homegate quite a bit--it's just that I often find that either the phone number provided is incorrect, or the contact individuals don't speak English (which is my problem, not theirs!). I just thought I'd try my luck with some expat sites. Take care.

there is a yahoo group for Expats in Switzerland that gets more traffic of apartments coming available, in my experience. You could try joining that.

Thanks for the tip!

http://www.xpatxchange.ch/ would be better.

I wouldn't inflict the Yahoo group on anyone...

All saying: "I want a 4.5room apartment in Seefeld" cos its what I've been told to look for.
