We had a fantastic stay in Oscar’s apartment. With its high ceilings, space and great facilities it was wonderful luxury for the two of us that would easily fit a larger family or group. We very much appreciated some of the details like the well fitted out kitchen, great HiFi and DVD set up with easy audio hook ups, cosy heating and comfortable beds. Meeting and orientation was done by Oscar’s mother at a time to suit us on arrival and Oscar himself had communicated swiftly and helpfully on the Airbnb app with recommendations for restaurants and bars. Location is very good, 10 mins walk from Karslplatz U-Bahn – Karslplatz is an easy two stops across on the green line U4 if you are arriving on the efficient CAT from the Airport. One top tip would be that if you turn right when you come out of the apartment and walk to the end of Gushausstrase (1 min) then just round the corner is the stop for tram ‘D’. If you’ve got luggage or it’s raining you can use this to go round to the Opera stop where you can dive down to the U-Bahn. Nearby to the apartment there is a good Spa Gourmet mini supermarket – just watch out for the short opening hours which are significantly earlier closing than you will be used to from the UK (around 7pm).

This was our first experience of Airbnb and both the apartment and communicating with Oscar has been first class – He’s set a high standard !
