Hello EnglishForum,
first of all I just wanted to thank all of you for this great forum that has a lot of useful information. I have been a lurker for a while.
I have a question regarding my situation.
I have been offered a job contract in Zurich starting July 1st. I'm from Spain, and from what I got from one friend that works in HR in Zurich, he told me that I should come, and I have several days between starting my contract and registering for the residence permit.
I was a bit worried because I was having trouble finding a temporary accomodation, and I read that some workers in the Kreisburo sometimes think that an Airbnb for 1/2 months is not enough even if your contract is "unlimited" in time.
The thing is that I wrote to Zurich's Inmigration Office, and today I got this response:

From what I understand, seems like I need to register BEFORE starting work?
From all my friends experience (EU's in Zurich) this has never been the way. I'm flying on Sunday and I'm staying first on a hotel for the first few days until I can move to an Airbnb that I got for 2 months, so how am I supposed to go to the Kreisburo? What address would I give to them?
Can you help me figure stuff out?
Thank you in advance
