Gerhard & Nicole were great hosts, quick to respond and helpful with neighborhood tips for restaurants, shopping, metro, etc. Pictures are accurate of loft & we appreciated having a large chest of drawers, shelves in bathroom, clothes rack & stocked kitchen. Ample room for the 2 of us to lounge around. And yes there is a gold sparkly WC. Lots of natural light and windows open for fresh air. Hosts live in building which is nice if you need some help. We were able to walk everywhere, lots of ethnic restaurants near by, (we liked Mark's which was about a block away) and 10-15 min walk to "old town" which we did daily & nightly. Also near Mariahilfer Strasse, a major shopping street with lots of activities. We only used the tram to and from the train station and to go to Nussdorf, which is near the vineyards on the outskirts of Vienna. Beautiful walking trails.
Over all a great stay with conscientious hosts.
Only cons: lots of stairs to unit (we appreciated the extra exercise) and low water pressure in shower. Obviously that is the older building and not something hosts can control.
