I was at Bernadette's place for close to 3 weeks and I must say it was worth the prize. As a student travelling to Vienna. I was on a budget and couldn't find anybody to club in with and hence chose the place .
Review-
I'll start off with pro's
CENTRAL
It's easy to access via trams. And Via buses(4A) literally stops behind it.
Its super close to Karlsplatz station than Belvedere itself. So if your inflight take the tram to Karlsplatz (4€)and then uber down or walk 10 mins with ya luggage.
FLEXIBLE
Since its her house if you're sweet and respectful she lets you check-in and check out at your convenience provided she's not stuck with booking. I had a night flight and checked out at 6pm even though I had to at 11 am . It saves you money and from being out in the cold all day.
Also once in a bluemoom I did cook in the kitchen and got to use the fridge even though it isnt listed .
SPACIOUS
The room provided is big for one person. Its like an old German kids bedroom with books to read ,huge shelfs to store stuff ,a cute table/counter with a desk lamp to study. And no its not an attic if you thought that but its the topmost floor and its the roof slope that you see over the bed in pictures .
PRIVATE
Bernadette gives you respect the same way you give it to her. You have a key to yourself to the apartment and to your room. She is super well mannered and minds her own business. You can stay detached to the rest of the place and still feel at home.
Now cons.
Sanitary spaces -
The main drawback is the common bath (which is kept extremely clean ) located right next to the main door. Its 1 for the whole place and despite best efforts is getting old. The water takes time to drain(which is a pain whilst trimming your beard) . The toilet however is super clean and clogged once whilst my whole stay which I didnt see and was cleaned by Bernadette asap.
Lack of common spaces.
You get exactly just the room . Since she lives there any person would just prefer to not step outta the room hence donot expect to have a living or a dining space to chill whilst there . You eat drink and sleep all in the same room.
Lack of freedom.
This is in specific to students. You can't as she says in the description live like you'd rented it . Cos she stays in the house you have to live by the house rules and that means less friends ,less alcohol and less (since its legal) brownies.Also you can't cook a midnight meal and risk waking people up.
Just make sure you're prepared and are not expecting a squeaky clean personal airbnb and ready to share someones house and you'd have a great time at her place.
Ps. She did give me handmade postcards while leaving which was super sweet.
All said I had a good time and would definitely consider visiting the place on my next budget trip.
