Gisella is a wonderful host. She was very forthcoming in the entire interaction throughout. She swiftly responded to questions about the apartment, helpful in offering tips and advice on how to get there and what to do, and supportive with regard to a number of special requests I had (e.g. parking a rental bike, etc). I was particularly grateful that she came out early, on a Sunday morning, to get me the keys, when I ended up arriving earlier than initially planned!

The apartment is a true gem! Just getting up in the morning - with the view across the trees of the adjacent park - is worth it. The place as a homey-kind of feel about it, not too much personal touch but enough to make one feel right. All amenities are there and more, wifi works and is strong, and the space is big enough to cook and have dinner with friends. Only warning to others: the flat is in the third floor without a lift - so be prepared to carry your suitcases up. Once that was done, however, I quite enjoyed the morning and evening walk up the short stairs...and the view at the end, as I said, is unbeatable...

Location works very well - the metro is less than 10 minutes away, and the Strassenbahn literally 5 minutes. There are a few pubs right around the corner, as are shopping opportunities. The direct connection to Praterstern allows for sunday shopping if needed.

In summary: I had a great time - and would want to always come back!
