I found this listing to be somewhat misleading. I expected my own apartment, but the "apartment" is actually a section of the host's apartment. The shared foyer was advertised, but I was unaware that you actually go through the host's apartment, then go into your "apartment". I found it uncomfortable walking through someone's home to get to mine everyday, which is why I booked a place under "entire place your own". I expected a shared foyer as advertised, and assumed the hosts' apartment was also locked, separate and behind a closed apartment door. My privacy was comprised by the host entering my apartment 3 times, twice without permission. Then on another occasion, while I was entering my apartment, the host asked if she could enter the following day to put sheets away. I said "why don't you just give them to me right now?". Another time while I was home, the host asked to enter to get a cart. I told her I would bring it out for her. I came home one evening to a typed highlighted note taped to my door: "Please respect the house rules!" I had left a light on and apparently the window had blown open (this was one of the occasions she entered without my being there or asking). I told the host I did shut the window, but she insisted I didn't. I did notice that on occasion when I had shut it, it would blow open and this is obviously what happened. There was light rain that day and she claimed the floor would get ruined, but I never saw any rain come in when I was home with a window open during light rain (there was no air conditioner or fan and it was a very hot August, some 90+F days). The note seemed unnecessary. The host asks you to leave your keys outside your door so she knows when you are home or not. I was also asked to fill out and sign some form with my personal information (passport number, DOB, address etc). I was told it is "required by Austrian law', but I have no idea what it was and in retrospect I was under no legal obligation to fill out this form. Overall, I felt my privacy was comprised and it was a bit of a burden during my precious vacation time. The note taped to my door was the last straw for me, and I checked out a week early, quietly left and said "thank you" (moved to a hotel). I didn't have the heart to tell the host all this and I also didn't want any drama on my vacation.
It's a great location, and if you don't mind a shared place and seeing the host often then this would be a good spot for you.
