I had a great time staying at this home away from home while in Vienna! The place was perfect as described and advertised - very warm, cozy, clean, and comfortable. The hosts added personal touches to make me feel extra welcome- I appreciated the bottle of wine and chocolates! The apartment was everything I needed for my weekend getaway. The bed was large and comfortable; the kitchenette had dishes, an electric kettle, and a fancy coffeemaker; the bathroom was spacious and had a very nice hair dryer and some shower supplies. The apartment also had a mobile wifi device you could take with you (more about that later)! The apartment was close to everything, including the lovely market and shops nearby, the nightlife district, the museums, and of course, the Opera house and Old Vienna circle (also more on location later).
From booking to check-in, the hosts responded quickly and provided detailed and helpful information. I was able to check in earlier, as their friend greeted me and showed me everything.
The only issue that lasted persistently over the weekend was that the WiFi device refused to work for me, no matter what I tried. I had a cellular connection so it wasn’t such a problem, but visitors without EU cellular contracts need to ensure they understand how this device works and get extra help if necessary.
Another thing to consider for light sleepers visiting over the weekend is that there are bars in the area and a nightclub directly across the street from the bedroom and living room window... The blinds and windows are not light and soundproof, so very ironically for this quiet residential apartment building, despite the no parties rule, it felt like the apartment was surrounded by one big party from evening until morning. But only on Saturday night. I was checking out on Sunday, and was extremely tired from being unable to sleep all night because of the noise. So, in summary, the location of this apartment is awesome and close to everything, and it’s a comfortable and accommodating place, the hosts are great, but you also get the nightclub and bars, as described.
