Nico was very friendly over email and made the process very easy. We never actually met but that was no problem for us. The flat was beautiful, just as it looked in the pictures, very clean, un cluttered and well kept. It's a very unique apartment with all sorts of interesting details and Nico has furnished it to highlight these. We were only in Vienna for a few days so spent most of our time in central Vienna which we accessed by uber in about 20 mins. We didn't get to know the neighbourhood well but it seemed safe quiet and peaceful. The apartment was very close to Schonbrun palace and park which was a wonderful to walk around. We wish we'd had longer to explore.
