The room is spacious and the bed is comfortable, but the entire posting and interaction was deceiving. Filip met us late, which was very nice of him, and he was very accommodating initially, but he proceeded to tell us that he would also be staying in the apartment with us for the weekend, which we were unaware of. The first line of the listing says "while my partner and I are out of town on business" and many of the reviews either seem to be just as confused as we were, or made it seem as though there was no one else in the apartment. The listing price is extremely expensive for just renting a room and a small bathroom, and pretty reasonable if you had the entire apartment to yourself.

The listing is not controlled by Filip, but by his ex-roommate, Lora, and it seems that there is an unresolved issue between them that affects the cost of the apartment, the communication, and all information being relayed to the guest.

There was a lack of instruction about entering and leaving the apartment, but we quickly got it resolved. Filip did try to leave us alone for the four days we were there and we didn't see him much.

We had a friend that was also in Vienna and her hostel fell through last minute, so we asked Filip if she could also stay in the room. He was very generous in making the futon for her, and we told him we would pay extra for surprising him with an extra guest. However, the listing states 15 euro a night after the first guest. As there were already two of us staying there, I had technically already paid 15 euro a night after the first guest. This is deceiving and should be changed on the listing. Also, there is no way that room would fit four people. The futon would be very uncomfortable if shared by 2 people so while it is spacious, the bed space is not enough.

The room is really nice, and centrally located, an 8 minute walk to the closest U-bahn stop, Volkstheater. There is a cute breakfast place close by and a grocery store right across the street. We were able to walk to Christmas markets in the vicinity and Filip provided us with a guide book and map which were very helpful. Overall, Vienna was wonderful, but this listing must be changed in order for other guests to know exactly what they are walking into.
