This was such a cute place with an excellent location! The studio apartment has everything you need and close to the grocery store.The host is so thoughtful left a bottle of wine and some Matterhorn cookies.We definitely had a great stay in Zermatt!!
Nicki was such a great host - quick to respond and really helpful. The studio was spacious and comfortable with fabulous views of the Matterhorn from the dining table. It had everything you could need, even a welcome bottle of wine and delicious biscuits! Well situated for access to both the Gornergrat railway to the top of the mountain and the main railway station. Walkable in ski boots to the Sunnegga lift. Three supermarkets all close by. All in all, a really lovely stay.
The apartment was clean and comfortable with a good view of the Matterhorn. The host was super helpful with suggestions of hikes and things to do in the area. Super smooth check in and out. Would stay again any time

This is a terrific little apartment, close to everything, well appointed and with a view of the Matterhorn from the balcony and the kitchen. Strongly recommend
Perfectly simple, perfectly beautiful.
Nicki's apartment was ideal for me - great location, with lots of hikes right out the front door, along with tons of food and amazing views!
Effortless check in. Great communication with owner. Perfect location in the center of town. We had great weather and a perfect little view of the Matterhorn from the balcony.

Thank you for your kind comments! we hope to welcome you again soon In Zermatt.
We loved everything about this studio condo. The location is great, close to the train station yet off the main road. Easy access to lifts and the Gornegrat train. The balcony with a Matterhorn view and one of the few grassy open lots in town in front of it. Smartly equipped with all you need. Luxurious oversized bath towels. GREAT host communication. A good value in a town that can be hard to find one.
I had a lovely week stay here. Some of my favorite moments were having coffee or wine on the balcony while looking at the Matterhorn - you get a great view here! The location is close to everything and the studio is stocked well. The host was responsive and welcoming. Couldn’t have had a better week - thanks!

He was also attentive to provide information about possible changes to our departure due to local events - Just fantastic service.We can only highly recommend this apartment for those who want a quiet and comfortable stay in central Zermatt.
Excellent location....only a few minutes walk to supermarkets, Zermatt train station, Sunnegga funicular, train station to Gornergrat. Couldn't have asked for a better location. Unit was a good size for 2 people. Excellent view. Warm and easily accessible. We will definitely stay here again if it's available.
Studio was exactly as described. It was everything we were expecting and more. View from balcony was amazing, and only a five minute walk from train station and grocery.

Thank you for your kind review we are so pleased you were happy in the Studio.
The host was very kind and moved us to another apartment as there was a lot of noisy construction next to the apartment booked. She went out of her way to see we were happy and settled.

This property was set in a great location, less than a 5 min walk from the train station and very close to the town centre but very quiet and serene. Also had an amazing view of the Matterhorn! The apartment was also more spacious than expected. However, the pillows were not comfortable and we had trouble sleeping. The space was generally clean but there was some things left behind from the previous guests (a hat and a used contact case) which was strange. Overall, it was a pretty good home base for our 4 nights in Zermatt!

The property is very homey with an all-you-need kitchen and a comfortable living room. The location is also very good as it is very close to the main station and station for train going up to Gonergrat! The host, Nicki, also communicates efficiently. Response is quick and helpful. However, the cleaning is just fair. We found a cap, a pair of contact lens case and a pair of socks at the home. Not too bad but need some work on cleaning!
Fabulous studio that is centrally located - it takes 3 minutes to walk to the sunnega funicular or to the bus stop to the Matterhorn gondola. Good view of the Matterhorn too! Apartment was very clean and felt like home with the well stocked kitchen with quality wares, spices, etc. Host Nicki is welcoming and an excellent communicator. Look forward to returning.

About the host
Hosted by Nicki Shadwell
Our family has been visiting Zermatt for over 20 years and has completely fallen in love with this unique mountain village and its breathtaking Matterhorn views. Our mother bought her first property here in 1994, followed by the Imperial apartment in 2001, which she renovated into a comfortable home in a prime central location. She later purchased the studio next door, creating the perfect setup for couples, grandparents, a nanny, or friends travelling together who appreciate having their own space nearby. We are delighted to share our Zermatt home and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
Wake up to stunning views of the Matterhorn from the balcony and watch the changing light on the mountains throughout the day. We love being able to walk everywhere—from the ski lifts and hiking trails to the village's charming shops, cafés, and restaurants. Zermatt offers the perfect blend of world-class skiing, spectacular alpine scenery, and a relaxed car-free atmosphere that keeps us coming back year after year.
What makes this property unique
What makes this studio special is its unbeatable location—just a short walk from the village centre, shops, restaurants, and the main ski lifts. Designed to feel like a true "home away from home," it is ideal for one or two guests and is thoughtfully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The south-facing balcony with its stunning Matterhorn view provides the perfect setting to unwind after a day on the slopes or exploring the mountains.
