We left this apartment after less than 1 day of our 3-day stay. It did not meet our expectations of a 5 star property and it was unsafe in several ways. There was no one to greet us on arrival where we found cleaning materials left out on the table and the washer/dryer left on 3 hours, adding to the already stifling temperatures in the apartment. The single cheap fan was inadequate as were the curtains and blinds reduce sunlight/heat. The attic windows got too hot to touch, radiating more heat inwards. The living room curtains were neither wide enough to cover windows properly and far too long, producing one of many trip hazards. We have photos of a thermometer in all rooms showing 34oC in the afternoon, much hotter than outside. Marginally cooler overnight but impossible to sleep properly. Although stated there’s no A/C, we do not understand how the owners can rent out the rooms knowing they are unbearable to be in in hot weather. When we notified them we had to leave 2 days early because of the heat, there was no surprise or an apology just a ‘I hope you enjoyed Vienna otherwise’. Although past efforts put in on overall design of the apartment, there is little consideration for current guests. There are message everywhere telling you to do or not do things, which the host reinforces in person. Yet there is a lack of the basics to be expected. Only one wineglass, out of reach crockery, no drawers for clothes in bedroom (hanging ones were broken and dumped in the hallway). A tiny travel ironing board (to go with tiny iron with frayed and exposed wires) with nowhere to put it out apart from the main table cluttered with items. When we realised that fridge wasn’t working, the host blamed the previous guests for turning it off, and then blamed us for its leaking water from the ice compartment. We have photos of all the bare wires coming out of the walls and ceiling/missing light fittings, loose plugs etc. The kettles positon was also unsafe plugged into a socket just above the sink with nowhere else to stand it except on the wet metal draining area for sink! Total darkness in the living room on first night. Main bulb gone but dodgy wiring on wall lights’ (wrapped together by black tape) meant didn’t work either. Host admitted he had known bulb had gone and changed it after we asked but we later saw messages from previous guests in the visitors’ book also mentioning this. Other comments from several months back in book mention the shower not draining properly. Flooded bathroom unpleasantly for us too.. The terrace was not as it appeared but covered in weeds and unsafe to walk or sit on as impossible to balance. In summary, asides from adding to the stress and expense of our trip to Vienna, I would not recommend this property. Although at first glance it is nicely designed,...
