How to review the apartment of Marie-Therese? First of all, the self-check-in instructions you get seem to be clear but are incorrect, so one cannot get the key from the keysafe. The lock of the door is malfunctioning and needs proper jiggling, wiggling, pulling, and pushing before opening. And Marie-Therese let you wait for three hours before responding to any question for help while she's in another country. Upon arrival, there was no information about the apartment, the must-see's and nice-to-do's of Vienna.
The apartment self wasn't clean, hairs all over the floor. Stains on bedside tables and curtains. Curtains were hanging loose from their rods. And the provided towels were disgusting. There was no indication that the apartment was thoroughly cleaned according to Airbnb's standards in these abnormal times of Covid-19.
Both bathroom en kitchen are reasonably modern but poorly equipped. The kitchen is lacking basic supplies like a water cooker, toaster, and table supplies. The bathroom is missing a useful bathtub screen, which means you spray water all over the room.
The apartment is listed as new and luxurious. But it is clear that it isn't both of them anymore. The apartment is full of user marks, stains, and scratches. Besides the kitchen and bathroom, the apartment is not luxurious. It is mostly equipped with basic Ikea furniture, like bed and once-white couch. Or really old furniture which seems going to fall apart soon or unusable kitchen table because of its low frame, so no one can get their legs under it.
Is it all that bad? Well no. The apartment is located pretty close to Karlsplatz and the inner city of Vienna. In the surroundings are lots of supermarkets and almost in front of the door stops a tram and is a city bike station available. The apartment itself is spacious and light and easily fit more than two people. While I was in Vienna, there was a heatwave, but the apartment remained cool because one can open the windows to provide some draft.
In the end, I would recommend this place to everyone who's visiting Vienna, but expectations should be managed.
