I have only wonderful things to say about Chris and his apartment! I arrived to Vienna early in the day and Chris was kind enough to let me stow my luggage in the building until I could officially check in to the apartment. After check in, I mentioned that I was a little warm in the apartment, and he also very kindly ran out and bought two fans - after that point, we were incredibly comfortable and slept wonderfully. The location of Chris' building is ideal, within walking distance to most anything that visitors to Vienna are going to want to see (i.e . the Ringstraße and the first district), and if you'd like to travel further afield, you're very close to the U2 line and other public transportation. The apartment itself is outfitted with some very nice extras: aside from the basics like clean linens and towels, there's a Nespresso machine with extra pods, things like sugar/salt/oil if you want to do your own cooking, and maybe best of all, a Waschtrockner (combined washer and dryer), which is a wonderful plus if you're going to be in town for a while and need to do some laundry.
Due to reasons beyond Chris' control, we had to leave the apartment a bit earlier than expected. The city was doing road construction immediately outside of the building, which, we discovered after we arrived, was going to last for the duration of our stay. The work began very early in the morning and was quite loud, and so I mentioned this to Chris and asked if we might be allowed to break off our stay earlier than expected. He was extraordinarily gracious in allowing us to do this and also gave us a partial refund, which says a lot about his character - he was not obligated to do this, and I was very grateful to him for his understanding. We regretted having to leave the apartment, which was otherwise lovely, comfortable, and well-situated. I'm sure that the roadwork I mentioned above most be completed now, and I highly recommend Chris' place for a lovely stay in a beautiful Altbau building located in the very cool 8th district of Vienna. Thank you, Chris!
