Christina was a very nice host and very communicative.
The reason I am rating it 3 stars because her home was very cold which gave me and my friend a cold. It gets chilly at night in Vienna along with the early mornings.
The heat was not turned on upon arrival. She was willing to come fix it but I figured since we were already going to be leaving it wasn’t worth it to come out of her way.
We did not feel comfortable messing with a boiler and messing something up. Not to mention the home didn’t have carbon monoxide detectors.
Erring out of a hot shower into cold air was no fun at all. We stayed for about 3 nights if I am not mistaken.
It is a loft and the stairs are very dangerous. There is no railing or any coverage upstairs that blocks off the stairs. Not suitable for children, elderly, or anyone that may have a drunk night.
There was no pillows on the bed upstairs. I did check the closet with her linens and found a pillow with no pillow case that had old brown stains. I didn’t feel comfortable using the pillow.
You do have to air dry your clothes. The washer says it drys but she said that it doesn’t. So just be aware of that if you prefer not to air dry your clothes.
Other than that it was a nice place in a nice area. I believe a 35 minute walk to the city center. There was shopping booths out front and there are restaurants near by. I enjoyed the fact that the loft was located right next to grocery stores.
Lastly when checking in if you are coming in at night it would be good to note in the description that you walk in this little alley next to the trash cans (dumpsters) my friend and I walked through it at night and the lights automatically turned on once you walk a few steps closer. But still scary at first when it’s your first time checking in and unsure if you are going the right way.
Main issue was the heat wasn’t on the entire stay knowing it gets cold. For the price I paid there should’ve been heat for comfort. Now I have a cold from that and I am annoyed about it.
So make sure cto check about that before staying there.
