Furnished Rooms in Zurich: Our Shared House in Altstetten
Four furnished rooms in a well-kept house with a large shared kitchen, dining room and its own garden. Ideal if you are new to Zurich – starting a job, an internship or your studies – and need an affordable temporary home right away.
Arriving without detours
New to Zurich – for your studies, a first internship, or because apartment hunting simply works better once you are here? Then you know the problem: hotels are expensive, subletting is complicated, and most flat shares are looking for someone to stay for years.
Our house at Algierstrasse 16 is the uncomplicated answer: an affordable furnished room that you rent for weeks or months. You bring your suitcase, everything else is already there – no flat-share casting, no furniture shopping, no paperwork marathon.
The kitchen: the heart of the house
The large shared kitchen is fully equipped – from frying pans to the coffee machine. This is where you cook your dinner, heat up your lunch or try out a new recipe on a Sunday.
People quickly end up sitting together at the big dining table: your flatmates are in the same situation as you – new in town, up for a chat and happy to share tips. Quite a few friendships in this house started right here.
Garden and terrace: room to breathe
Something hardly any room in Zurich offers: a large garden. In summer, people eat, study or simply enjoy the sun outside – the garden and terrace belong to all residents.
And still you live quietly: Algierstrasse is a residential street in Altstetten – far from the noise of the city centre, yet just minutes away by bus and S-Bahn.
Bathroom, washing machine and everyday life
You share the bathroom with your flatmates – with four people in the house, this works surprisingly smoothly in everyday life. A washing machine and fast Wi-Fi are in the house and included in the price.
In short: there is nothing to organise and nothing to buy. Move in, settle in, live – and calmly look for your own apartment in Zurich on the side, if you are staying longer.
How the house works
The house at Algierstrasse 16 is organised like a flat share: you have your own furnished room, while kitchen, bathroom, dining room and garden are shared with three flatmates. Everyone is in a similar situation – new to Zurich, here temporarily and easy-going.
