1 room of 12m² in Zurich

Furnished room in shared apartment in Zurich 8004 - Baeckeranlage / Langstrasse A fully furnished room in a 3-room apartment on the second floor is available from 21 August 2026. THE ROOM The room is approximately 12 m2, bright and fully furnished. It includes a double bed, two bedside tables, a desk and office chair, and a TV or monitor that can be connected to a computer. An integrated webcam is also available, although it currently has some functional limitations. One of the main features of the room is the very large mirrored wardrobe, almost 3 metres long and nearly reaching the ceiling. It offers extensive storage space with compartments, drawers, hanging areas and dedicated sections for shoes, jewellery, watches and other personal belongings. The wardrobe also features exterior lighting controlled by remote control, which provides pleasant and sufficient lighting for the room. During the first 6 months, one of the four large wardrobe sections will remain reserved for some of my personal belongings. The other three sections will be fully available to the tenant. At a later stage, the final section may also become available. Upon request, the room can be provided ready to move into with clean white bed linen, pillows, a bedspread and towels. The room is intended for one person only. Couples or shared occupancy are not possible. SHARED AREAS The fully equipped kitchen includes an oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer and dining area. The refrigerator and freezer provide sufficient space for two people and will be divided fairly between us. The bright living room is fully furnished with a sofa, large table and television. There is also a small shared balcony. The shared bathroom includes a bathtub with shower option, washbasin, mirror, storage space and hairdryer. As this is a shared home, particular importance is placed on cleanliness and organisation, especially in the bathroom. Personal toiletries should therefore be stored neatly. WASHING AND DRYING A shared washing machine and dryer are available in the building. Both machines were replaced only a few months ago and are in very good condition. The laundry facilities are shared by approximately six households, and washing and drying times can be reserved through a shared schedule. Their use is included in the rent. ABOUT ME AND THE LIVING ARRANGEMENT I am 48 years old, originally from Peru, an Industrial Engineer by profession and I work in the insurance industry. My 8-year-old son stays with me approximately twice a month, usually from Friday afternoon until Tuesday morning. He is calm, polite and well behaved and speaks Swiss German, German and Spanish. I am fully responsible for my son. No childcare, domestic assistance or other responsibilities related to him are expected from the tenant. I am looking for a quiet, clean, responsible, respectful and organised flatmate who values a pleasant, independent and uncomplicated shared living environment. A non-smoker is strongly preferred, particularly because a child regularly stays in the apartment. The room may be particularly suitable for a weekly commuter who works in Zurich during the week and spends some weekends elsewhere. Other professionals and students are also welcome, provided the financial requirements are met. German or English are perfectly sufficient for everyday communication. Spanish would be a nice plus but is not required. LOCATION The apartment is located in Zurich 8004, close to Baeckeranlage and Langstrasse. Tram 8 is approximately 2 to 4 minutes away on foot, Bus 31 approximately 3 to 5 minutes away, and Zurich Main Station approximately 15 to 20 minutes away on foot. The area offers many cafes, bars, restaurants and nightlife options. Due to the central location, it can occasionally be lively outside. However, the apartment has well sound-insulated windows, relatively thick walls and a well-insulated entrance door, so noise from neighbours is rarely noticeable. The surrounding area is also residential and home to many families with children. There is no private parking space. RENT AND COSTS Monthly rent: CHF 1 270. The rent includes the fully furnished room, general building service charges, internet, SERAFE and use of the washing machine and dryer. Electricity is not included. A fixed monthly electricity contribution of CHF 15 is currently charged, bringing the current total monthly payment to CHF 1 285. I aim to keep this contribution fair, as I live in the apartment full-time and therefore use a larger share. The contribution may be reviewed upon renewal of the contract if electricity prices or actual consumption change significantly. CONTRACT AND DEPOSIT The initial contract is for 6 months and may subsequently be renewed for additional 6-month periods by mutual agreement. A long-term arrangement is also possible if the shared living situation works well for both sides. The security deposit is CHF 3 810, equivalent to three months of rent, and will be deposited into a rental deposit account. The sublease is subject to approval by the property management company. REQUIREMENTS A valid Swiss residence permit B or C, an employment contract in Switzerland or sufficient financial security for students, personal liability insurance and a recent debt enforcement register extract, preferably without relevant entries, are required. Household contents insurance is recommended.

Please also mention whether you would feel comfortable occasionally sharing the apartment with a calm and well-behaved 8-year-old child. A recent photo may be included voluntarily as part of your introduction, but it is not required. The room is offered exclusively as a normal subletting and shared-living arrangement. No childcare, domestic assistance or other support is expected. PREVIOUS HOST REFERENCES In the past, I rented the room through Airbnb to guests from different countries and received numerous positive reviews. I can provide my previous Airbnb references to interested applicants through the Flatfox chat NEXT STEPS As I expect to travel to Peru soon, I would like to find a suitable flatmate relatively soon.
