Ehrendingen, Suiza

We live with our two cats in the heart of a small village, just 30 minutes from Zurich, 1.5 hours from Basel and 10 minutes from Baden AG.

Our newly renovated and furnished flat spans three floors in a lovingly restored building dating from 1881. A young family lives in the neighbouring part of the house, and we share the building, which has two separate entrances, much like a semi-detached house. On the ground floor, you’ll find the guest bathroom with a washbasin, toilet and washing machine/dryer, as well as Mirella’s creative space. On the middle floor, you’ll find the bedroom, the bathroom with a toilet, washbasin and shower, and André’s workspace. On the top floor are the open-plan living area, the open-plan kitchen and the dining area. Throughout the flat, only the two bathrooms and the bedroom have doors; all other areas are open-plan, like in a loft.

Our cats are 7 years old – a male and a female, who are siblings. They are very affectionate, with the female being even more so than the male. Both are outdoor cats and can go outside through a cat flap on the ground floor.
