Emil was a great host. When we arrived unexpectedly early, he changed his plans to meet us at the flat. He was always available by phone to help if we needed something. He's a super-friendly and warm person. Dealing with him was easy and fun.

The flat was clean, attractive, and nicely laid out. There was enough space for me and my husband to spread out. The balconies are incredible. When both doors are open, there's a breeze that flows through the entire apartment.

The apartment has an incredible location. It's right across from Schwedenplatz, where you can catch a tram, the Metro, and the cruise boats on the Donau canal. You can also rent a bicycle and ride along the canal. The historic center is 10 minutes away by walking.

Just a word of caution: Read the amenities carefully. The flat does not have a washing machine. I should have noticed that but I didn't. My fault!
