Me and my family stayed a week in Maria’s apartment and in general we had a great stay there.
The place is a traditional Viennese apartment, renewed and with a fully equipped kitchen. The main room is very wide, ventilated and bright. The location is great: less than a block to Naschmarkt, two subway stations nearby and walking distance to many great spots in Vienna (Museum Quartier, Haus des Meeres, Secession).
The communication was slow, but we had no big issues and Maria was always very friendly and generous.
The building itself is old, it has no elevator and it is not well maintained. The main door is open the whole day (even it has a big sign to keep it closed) and we just felt safe because Maria’s apartment is very well locked.
We had a misunderstanding about my arriving time at the apartment but Barbara (the lady who made my check in at the apartment) and her daughter were adorable and very friendly.
After a week in this place I think there’s two important points I have to emphasize:
- This place is ideal for families. Is important to have a good level of intimity between the guests because you have no doors in the rooms (you have a curtain at the big room and another curtain closing the bathroom). And to go to the bathroom you have to cross the second room. For me and my family it was not a problem but think twice if you are a group of friends.
- On Fridays and weekends the club below the apartment closes at 4 am and even if you are at the 3rd floor, you will listen to it – not very loud, but you will listen.
