Bernhard is a friendly and helpful host. We have visited Vienna several times in the last couple of years and his apartment has been our favourite accommodation so far. The apartment is bright, spacious, clean and well appointed. The balcony is a great place for sitting out, weather permitting! It is a short walk to the main shopping street, underground stations and tram stops, and there is a good choice of restaurants nearby. We met Bernhard on our departure and made a couple of suggestions about adding an easy chair or a small settee in the living area, and providing a way to block off light - in mid summer the room is bathed in light from 4.30 in the morning!

One final point and a word of warning!! Do not rely on the map on the reservation confirmation email from airbnb which shows the location of the apartment about 500 metres from where it really is, and fails even to show the name of the street on which it is located.
