Astrid is a very welcoming and helpful host. Her flat is in a great location and has a lot of authentically Viennese character. This may be an ideal listing for some, however, I had a few problems. The listing advertised 2.5 shared bathrooms when there isn't really even one full bathroom (there is an open tub and small sink in the kitchen, and a separate toilet and shower in a small room off of the kitchen). While the flat has a lot of character and charm, it is more cramped, cluttered, and crowded than the pictures suggest (the bedroom was clean, uncluttered, and very nice). Also, I told Astrid I was exhausted from a long day of travel, said goodnight to her at 10:30 p.m. or so, but heard her speaking (somewhat loudly) on the phone right outside the bedroom (which is the living room where she also had the TV on). I probably would have been able to fall asleep, but two guests arrived around 11 p.m. and continued to talk right outside the bedroom. This prompted me to leave and seek accomodations elsewhere. If I had known she was expecting late night visitors I would have found a different listing.
