Birgit’s place is perfectly situated in the heart of Vienna’s historic town center. Across the street is a lovely supermarket and around the corner is Le Bol that serves the best cinnamon/vanilla cafe latte! It is a 15-minute walk from the train station and easy instructions given to access the apartment. We did not use the lift to access the apartment (two levels above ground floor), thus cannot speak to how well it worked. We always took the stairs.
The rooms were much more appealing than what the photos showed. Large rooms with king size beds that were wonderfully comfortable.
The kitchen is cute, modern and has the basic necessities.
The main bathroom was large with double sinks, bathtub and separate shower, and a bidet in addition to your regular toilet. It also includes a combination clothes washer/dryer. Not really sure if it was me, but I ran two loads of laundry and they didn’t come out very clean, nor did the dryer work very well. I followed the directions that were on the wall, but was still disappointed in the results.
Although we did not had the opportunity to meet Birgit, she was easy to contact and very responsive. We found the side lamps in the bedroom needed the bulbs to be replaced and she sent someone out the next morning to replace them and they also fixed the rattling of the air conditioner (although at this time of year, we didn’t need it).
The one disappointment was that the couch in the common area smelled of cigarette smoke and also the towels that were left for us in the bathroom.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay immensely and would recommend staying here for either two couples or a family of four.
