I really enjoyed my experience. Hannes gave me explicit directions on how to reach his flat from the Hauptbahnhof (Main train station), using the Metro and the S-Bahn (the tram), and I managed to follow them with a suitcase and carry-on bag. His apartment is on the 4th floor ( 5th actually, because the lower level is called "Erdgeschoss" in German and does not count in the numbering of apartment floors), but a "Lift" (elevator) transports the luggage to his floor without difficulty. In good Central European fashion, one takes off one's shoes at the entrance - something I also did in Bratislava earlier, and which I am trying to emulate in my own small house in Nebraska after my return. Hannes is comfortably bi-lingual in German and English ( I tried to practice my German in written and oral communication). Staying with Hannes, even for only a short time, I realized why AirBnb is such a unique experience - his apartment is several kilometers from the major tourist centers of Vienna, and it gives the traveler a different experience from that of the normal impersonal tourist hotels. For example, I found a lovely local pub and breakfast place only 1 street away, on the street with the main tram, a typical neighborhood place where one can meet the local citizens and visit with the proprietress. Early September is school time in Europe, and I observed mothers, sometimes fathers, even both parents, taking their young children to school in person, sometimes even with their scooters, usually on the tram, but also occasionally on the U-Bahn (Metro). I would not have observed this unique sight unless I had stayed in Hannes' AirBnb apartment in a local Viennese neighborhood. Also, passing by the Volksoper (People's Opera) house reminded me of my experience in working with an Embassy Series in Washington, D.C., to sponsor concerts in different embassies - at least two sopranos whom we featured at Austrian Embassy concerts made their professional debut at this popular opera house. For these reasons, and for Hannes' excellent hospitality, I strongly encourage AirBnb users to check out the local transportation system and stay in a unique Viennese neighborhood. It's an experience that you will never forget. Hannes provides a clean furnished room, access to kitchen and bath/shower. I found a fine Italian restaurant within a ten-minute walk from his apartment. I would stay with Hannes again, if he will have me.
