We did our research, as we always do before taking trips. Christoph came highly rated; he didn't disappoint! He provided us numerous suggestions for local places to dine and visit, made reservations for us at several restaurants, and gave us quite a number of tips we wouldn't have otherwise known about.

Our stay was wonderful. As promised, the flat is located in a quiet area of downtown and is within walking distance of a subway station and shopping areas. Vienna is a lovely place to visit; staying at Christoph's place with him as a host makes the city that much more enjoyable.

Amenities included an elevator, coffee machine, large bed, dual adjustable radiators (for heat in wintertime, when we visited), plenty of room to hang up and store clothing, a decent-sized bathroom with its own adjustable radiator, and basic toiletries provided by Christoph. Vienna is a safe city; Christoph's flat is located in a very friendly and welcoming part of town.

We are thinking of returning to Vienna later this year, and if so will plan to request another stay with Christoph.
