Hi Scarlett

the main website used in Switzerland for housing is www.homegate.ch, but usually aparments are only rented for long term (to people with a B or C permit) and without furniture, then even if you would be able to get one it would be anti-economic to furnish it only for 6 months.

The hotel is in my opinion not an option (unless your company is paying for it and doesn't care about the cost), as a single night in an hotel could easily cost 200 CHF, anyway you can check on www.booking.com

Bed and breakfast could be an option (www.bnb.ch) but I don't know anything about it.

There are renting companies that rent furnished temporary apartments for something starting from 2500/3000 CHF per month:

www.apartments-swiss-star.ch

www.visionapartments.eu

www.accademia.li

www.cityappartements.ch

Another possibility: if you are lucky you can find somebody that is going on holidays for some months and is subletting his/her apartment

But the main option in cases like yours is to share an apartment (to rent a room) with somebody else.

I'd say that for the last two options the glocals "Classified" andf other expats' webites forums will be a good starting point for your reserch.

Good luck !

When I first moved to Zurich I stayed here in  a furnished studio apartment & it cost 1800CHF per month. had to also stump up 1 months deposit, which was repaid without any issues when I left

It was clean, central & safe

However I gotta say after 3 months I was going a bit crazy, cos it was small
