Overall a good stay. The host is so friendly and nice and clearly wanted to provide us a good experience, which made up for some of the wrinkles of our stay.
Pros:
- Hospitality: I really want to highlight this. Our host picked us up at the nearest train station which was unexpected but very nice of him. As the previous reviews mentioned, there were also free fruits, water, and a stocked fridge (with bread, eggs, and alcohol) for us. Our host also checked in with us during our stay to make sure we don’t need anything else. At checkout, he was also flexible with our schedule which was greatly appreciated.
- Location: the nearest train station is 2-3mins walk, it’s really convenient from the Wien HBF as well as to the tourist sites. Due to the proximity to the train station, you may hear trains at night, but they are pretty quiet trains.
Neutral:
- The place is smoking friendly which I wish I knew when I booked. If you are a smoker this might not be an issue.
Cons:
- Cleanliness: Upon arrival we found some used tissue on the bed, so we couldn’t help but wonder if the place was properly cleaned before our arrival. The beddings weren’t the type with easily changeable linens so it would be quite concerning if the blankets and pillows weren’t changed/laundered from the last guests. However, the washer hadn’t been unloaded and it seemed like towels were being washed. So perhaps the cleaner did clean the place but missed some spots.
Despite the issues, we really appreciate the generosity of our host and wish we could rate the place higher. I’m sure with some minor improvements this place would be a 5-star stay for the future guests. Thank you for hosting us!
