I rented Claudia's AirBNB, which is a block away from my flat, for my mother. She was spending the month in Vienna. My mother is in her 60s, so comfort and convenience was extra important. I am writing this on her behalf.
Everything about the apartment was just perfect, and it was even more spacious than I expected. It was well appointed, comfortable and really felt like "home" to her right away. She said the bed was extremely comfortable, and she enjoyed how quiet it was (it faces the courtyard). The kitchen was fully stocked with all cooking equipment and the sitting area was quite nice for when my partner and I visited for dinner. The living room is also very cosy. My mother is an artist, and she found the desk in the living room to be well-suited for working from her laptop.
The neighbourhood is excellent for someone who wants to get a real feel for what living in Vienna is like. My mother really felt like she got to know the neighbourhood since there are so many cafes, small galleries and unique stores within walking distance. She was very happy about having a grocery store across the street, and being close to the tram lines and taxi stations.
As a host, Claudia went above and beyond to accommodate my mother and checking in to make sure everything was as expected. Shortly into my mother's stay, she accidentally locked herself out at night and only realised it once we were at a Heuriger. Although Claudia was about to go out of town—and my mother and I were on the outskirts of town—Claudia arranged for her husband to meet with my partner at about 9 or 10pm! We could not believe our luck and we cannot express how appreciative of Claudia and her husband solving an issue that I can only imagine was very inconvenient and stressful for them!
My mother hopes to return next year, and hopes that Claudia's flat will be available again for her stay. The flat is a perfect choice for someone planning to have an extended stay in Austria who wants to feel "at home". Thank you again, Claudia!
