Temporary flats in Aarau
Aarau Appartements (AAZIM) rents furnished apartments in two separate neighborhoods within and around Aarau, a mid-sized city in northwestern Switzerland. The business operates from a converted building at Südallee 20b in central Aarau, directly across from the Kantonsspital Aarau (the cantonal hospital), and maintains a second location at Rigistrasse 2 in nearby Rohr. The site describes these simply as "möblierte, moderne Wohnungen zur Kurz- und Langzeitmiete" (furnished, modern flats for short and long-term rental), with no further elaboration on what that includes.
The Aarau location offers compact apartments: 30 to 45 square meters, each with a balkon. These are marketed as "allergikerfreundlich" (allergy-friendly), though the site does not explain whether this means low-allergen furnishings, air filtration, or simply an absence of carpeting. The allergy designation may attract people with sensitivities who are relocating to work at the cantonal hospital or elsewhere in Aarau. This is a meaningful detail for someone with allergies, dust sensitivities, or asthma, where apartment quality directly affects daily comfort during a temporary stay. An optional cleaning service and a nearby parkplatz (parking space) are both available, at unquoted costs. The Rohr apartment stock is larger, at 52 square meters per unit, and sits in "einer ruhigen Wohnzone" (a quiet residential zone), roughly five kilometers outside the city center, each with either a balkon or a garden with terrace. The garden option offers outdoor space for arrivals who value open air or who have small children. The site does not describe the Rohr units further, such as whether they are one or two-bedroom or whether they too are allergen-friendly.
Both locations benefit from integrated public transport. The site lists bus lines 1, 2, 4, and 6 as accessible, suggesting reasonable connectivity to central Aarau and surrounding areas. The Aarau KSA location's proximity to the cantonal hospital makes it particularly suited to medical professionals, students in health fields, or patients seeking accommodation during treatment or recovery. The Rohr location's quiet residential setting appeals to those valuing peace and distance from city center bustle; the site notes that "in a few minutes on foot" you can reach shops for daily needs, suggesting walkable neighborhood commerce within the residential zone.
The Aarau KSA property's location is explicitly noted as a "traffic-calmed zone" (verkehrsberuhigt), meaning reduced vehicle speed and prioritized pedestrian access. This matters for families with children or anyone preferring safer street environments. The Rohr location's emphasis on a "quiet residential zone" and proximity to shops paints a picture of a slower-paced, neighborhood-oriented setting distinct from the hospital-adjacent urban location.
What the site does not clarify
The site does not publish the monthly rent, utilities, deposit, or lease-term minimums. It does not describe furnishings, WiFi availability, utilities included, or what "modern" means in this context. It does not state check-in times, cancellation terms, or how to arrange a viewing. It does not name the proprietor or describe the company's history. Most critically, it does not list what standard equipment comes with the apartments: no kitchens, no washers, no bedding, no television, no mention of any chattels. The FAQ section that might clarify these details is absent.
This is typical of small regional furnished-housing operators in Switzerland, who rely on phone calls and email inquiries to close each rental. A prospective tenant should expect to gather most details through direct conversation rather than online browsing. Someone choosing between AAZIM and a competitor would need to contact all candidates to compare terms, pricing, and amenities side by side. The site functions more as a contact gateway than as a self-service booking platform.
For someone relocating to Aarau
A medical professional joining the cantonal hospital, a healthcare student, or a patient requiring extended nearby accommodation would find the KSA location convenient: no commute, proximity to work or treatment, and immediate access to transport. Someone seeking quieter residential living while remaining within Aarau's orbit would find Rohr's distance from the city center and garden/terrace options appealing. Both locations offer furnished flexibility that avoids the commitment and logistics of signing a Swiss residential lease you have not seen in person.
The allergy-friendly designation in Aarau is a genuine screening feature: if you list allergen sensitivities as a dealbreaker, calling AAZIM to confirm their specific measures (no carpeting, HEPA filtration, hypoallergenic mattress covers, or similar) is worthwhile.
The absence of online pricing and a transparent booking flow means you cannot compare AAZIM against other temporary-housing operators without making contact calls. The website is a directory listing, not a marketplace. For an arrival with tight timelines, that friction may be frustrating; for an arrival with flexibility, it is a minor telephone conversation. The dual phone numbers and email address suggest responsive customer contact, though no published response-time SLA is stated.
Getting in touch
The firm provides two phone numbers (both with the +41 79 country code for Switzerland, suggesting cell phones or a call center rather than a fixed business line) and an email address: info@aazim.ch. Arrivals in Aarau who need furnished housing can request details, pricing, availability, and specific equipment lists by contacting them directly. For someone relocating to work at the hospital, studying in the region, or seeking temporary housing while settling into permanent accommodation, the two locations and the allergy-friendly designation are concrete facts worth confirming with the operators. The public site offers only a starting point; the real conversation, on pricing, move-in dates, and what you actually get, happens by phone or email.
