Once your journey from Zurich is over and you are inside the apartment, pause before spreading luggage through every room. A brief household walkthrough can resolve small uncertainties while the host’s instructions are fresh. The aim is to understand the home you have booked, not to inspect it like a hotel.
Read the property instructions together
Find the house information and identify which details apply to your specific apartment. Locate the host contact, building entrance instructions and the procedure for reporting a problem. Check any guidance about shared spaces and where outdoor equipment belongs. If two adults will use the apartment independently, both should understand access. Keep private entry codes within the travelling party rather than adding them to a widely shared holiday planning document.
Learn the equipment you will actually use
Look at the kitchen appliances, heating controls and any laundry facilities before depending on them. Follow the supplied instructions and ask the host when a control is unclear. Check whether consumables such as dishwasher tablets are provided or need purchasing. The official Davos apartment directory is useful for comparing accommodation descriptions, but the host remains the source for the contents and operating instructions of your particular booked apartment.
Give everyday items a home
Choose a place for keys, reusable shopping bags and the documents needed during your stay. Establish where boots and damp outerwear may be left without affecting communal areas. Make space for food before buying a large grocery supply. When several people share the apartment, this modest organisation reduces repeated questions and keeps an outdoor holiday from taking over every room. Follow the building’s storage arrangements instead of improvising in corridors or entrances.
Resolve small questions before they multiply
Send the host a concise message if something promised in the booking is missing or an appliance is not working as expected. Describe the actual issue and include a photograph only when it helps. Keep routine household queries separate from requests about activities or local transport. Once the basics are clear, make a small list for the next shopping trip and leave the rest of the evening free for settling in and planning an enjoyable first local day.
