This unit is all about location. It is within a 15 minute walk to the Opera House and a 10 minute walk to some of the most amazing shops and restaurants in Vienna. There is also a lovely little park right behind the building and is only 3 minutes from transit and the Mall. This makes it very easy to get to and from the airport via the city train. The area is truly magical, so if you want a great location we highly recommend this unit.
If you are driving, it gets a bit more complicated. The building is on a one way road with only one real access point and Google doesn't really navigate all that well in this area. I would ask for additional directions from the host if you plan on driving. There is free street parking available during the evenings from 10pm - 9am and free on weekends. However, if you want to park on a weekday, the closest parking garage is about a 12 minute walk and costs 5 Euro per day. Not a big deal but worth noting.
The decor is very close to what you see in the photos. The loft area is lovely for drinking coffee in the morning or sipping wine in the evening. There is everything you could possibly need filling the kitchen and bathroom drawers. This adds a more convenient and "lived-in" feel but does not leave much space to put your own items. We definitely could have used an extra shelf or 2 to place our items.
The bedrooms are spacious which makes for a very comfortable sleeping experience. The rooms are very clean and the beds are at about a medium in terms of comfort. One note, both bedrooms share a wall with the entrance of the building next door and you can hear people opening the door and walking up and down the stairs in the morning. However, there is not a lot of foot traffic in that area so noise is kept to a minimum.
The host is absolutely the most responsive. Answering our questions day and night. She checked in a couple of times as well to make sure everything was ok. If you value a responsive host then she is by far one of the best.
Overall, we would stay in this unit again and highly recommend for families or couple who prefer a more homely feeling unit and want quick access to the city and all of its amazing attractions.
