Where and how? [Where to live? How to travel by boat?]

Hello,

I finally made it safe and sound to Zurich and am extremely excited to get familiar with the surroundings.

I am facing difficulty at the moment finding a place to live as I'm sure most of you have experienced already and maybe could give a point or two of advice.

My situation is this:
I relocated with my company and am staying at a shared serviced apartment with my colleague for the next 3 weeks. I need to find a place by May 1st as my Fiance will be joining me then. She has found a Job in Erlenbach and I would like to find a rental flat close to her work. I work near Alt Wiedikon on Gruben Strasse and a long commute for me is ok.

First Question:
Does anybody know of available apartments near Erlenbach?

Second Question:
Is it possible to take a ferry across the lake from Erlenbach (instead of a train around) and bike to Alt Wiedekon area from there? Far? Expensive?

I'm very new so pardon the naive questions....

Regards

J

Re: Where and how?

Here is the timetable for the ferry. It does stop at Erlenbach.

I think a bonuskarte of sorts which includes trains, trams and ferries is the ticket. You might find trains more convenient.
