My family and I have decided to get together this year in Vienna and I have selected this apartment for all of us based on its location. The layout of the apartment was perfect for the six of us and we did not feel cramped in this 3 bedroom spacious apartment. Based on the description we were supposed to have TV which we found in the living room unfortunately with no receiver or antenna attached to it. I have asked the host to clarify the situation and instead of hearing a simple apology the host came across being very argumentative. I see that this has now been clarified in the description so future quests know what to expect. Luckily I have a screen shot of the original description to support my case. The beds in the apartment were comfortable with one bed missing the bed sheets but that was not a big problem. Towels were also available for each one of us and placed on each of the bed but they looked very used, stained in places and didn't smell fresh.
We have found coffee, few bottles of water, milk, bottle of beer and a can of red bull in the fridge which we though was a nice welcoming perk. Most host I came across airbnb and other similar services do offer these perks free of charge to feel quest welcome. Unfortunately, this was not the case here. We saw an a la carte menu in the house rules book with prices next to each item. I must admit we were shocked.
We were also shocked how loud the neighbors were around us. We have respected the hosts request to keep it down after 10pm but heard loud noises coming out of other apartments so we didn't really understand that request. Please let me be clear it was not the street noise. To be honest the street noise was very suiting with the street cars zooming by other street noises.
Gladly, we always have a blast when we get together and this experience will make a great story next time we see each other.
