Furnished flats across Zurich's central quarters
AAS AG has operated serviced apartments in Zurich for over 20 years, focusing exclusively on temporary and medium-term housing for business travelers and private customers moving to the city. The firm keeps around six buildings scattered across Zurich's most central, walkable quarters: Wiedikon and Seefeld are two of the named locations, each positioned within minutes of public transport, shops, and workplaces. Every apartment arrives fully furnished with modern design, a functioning kitchen, and connectivity built in from the start. The firm's positioning is deliberate: these are not budget hostels or high-end suites, but practical mid-range housing for people with work commitments who need to establish themselves quickly without tying up capital in a long-term lease or fumbling through the Swiss rental bureaucracy.
A person arriving mid-year with a work contract but no permanent housing yet will find apartments ready to move into the same day as check-in, which the firm permits from 15:00 onward. The firm offers a keybox option for later arrivals, removing the need to coordinate around office hours. Each unit is equipped with a washing machine and tumbler (either in the apartment or in the building, available 24/7 at no extra charge), a dishwasher, oven, and microwave, plus a Nespresso machine and basic kitchen tools. A hairdryer, iron, and vacuum cleaner round out the included basics, which means a new resident can unpack and cook that first night without a single trip to buy essentials.
The three-tier pricing structure shown on the site runs from approximately CHF 3,290 per month for a 2.5-room flat up to CHF 4,490 for a 3.5-room layout, with one attica option at CHF 3,390 per month. These prices include the full service package and utilities, so the deposit matches exactly one month's rent plus the service fees already quoted. The site publishes no separate charges for WLAN, TV access, or basic cleaning. This all-in pricing appeals to relocating professionals who want to skip the multi-week hunt for a permanent flat and the upfront deposits that come with long-term Swiss rentals. Renters can request a parkplatz (parking spot) nearby if available, and a fitness studio sits somewhere in the portfolio, though the site does not specify which buildings house it or whether the fee is included.
Lease terms are structured for arrival unpredictability: month-to-month renewals are routine, and renters can request early renewal or cancellation by written notice to the firm. The firm requires a 30-day advance notice to terminate, which aligns with Swiss rental norms for short-term lets. This is notably flexible compared to permanent Swiss rental leases, which typically carry one-year minimums and three-month termination periods. A site visitor can schedule a physical inspection before signing anything, a real safeguard when sight-unseen international moves are the norm. The site notes that early check-in and late check-out can be accommodated on request, suggesting the firm understands the chaos of cross-border relocation and is willing to absorb some operational friction to keep tenants happy and arriving on schedule. The firm does not publish exact move-in costs beyond the deposit, nor does it describe utilities separately, though the phrasing suggests they fold into the quoted rent. This transparency gap is typical of European short-term rentals, where the monthly rent is quoted all-inclusive and no separate utilities bill arrives.
The site does not settle how the firm handles a mid-month arrival (pro-rata rent or a full first month?), whether optional parking carries an additional cost, how early one can book before departure (same-day leasing is mentioned but not guaranteed), or what "early check-in" or "late check-out" actually costs beyond a vague "if available" qualifier. The firm markets itself in German and English, and while the site is in English, it does not state whether the rental team fluently conducts intake in other languages. The site also does not detail the lease length floor: a month-to-month structure implies flexibility, but whether a resident can lease for exactly two weeks is left unanswered.
For someone relocating to Zurich with a job starting in three to six weeks, this firm serves as a low-friction interim solution: you arrive, scan their portfolio, book a flat, move in the same afternoon, and then hunt for a permanent place without the pressure of commuting from a hotel an hour out of the city. The fitted kitchen and washer make the stay feel like a staging point rather than a hotel room. A guest with an international work visa (but no Swiss residential permit yet) will find the all-inclusive pricing straightforward: no surprise utility bills, no language barriers negotiating a German-only lease, no need to chase down a Swiss bank account before signing. The firm handles the small details that trip up first-time relocations. Families should note that the firm does not describe soundproofing or noise levels, and does not mention family-sized units beyond the three-room option; a party of five or six would find few choices. Business travelers get what they want: centrality, a workspace, and no daily housekeeping hassles except the weekly refresh. The firm suits arrivals with flexible timing in the mid-range budget tier; it is not a hostel alternative for backpackers, and the lack of any ultra-short (under-one-month) pricing online suggests the firm is not chasing overnight bookings.
