Re: pre-arranging apartments
I am currently in temporary furnished accommodation until Oct 1st. Although I did visit Zurich with a view to sorting out my permanent accommodation, I made all the arrangements for my temporary accommodation via e-mail. The company told me what was available and where, I chose what I wanted, they sent me a contract, I printed it, signed, scanned and returned it. A few days before I arrived I paid the first month and they left the keys at the service centre at the airport so I didn't need to come to their offices to collect them.
The place I am in is small, but I wanted to keep my expenses down so went for a 1 room place. The location is ideal and is close to almost everything. The company gave me great directions to the place, and have always responded promptly. The apartment gets cleaned once a week and linen and towels are provided. Personally, I'm happy I did this by e-mail and spent my time here looking for something permanent. As a result, by the time I moved here I had applied for 3 apartments and been offered all 3. I was happy I got my first choice one.
Feel free to PM me if you want more info.
