Superb apartment and host -- one of the best I've stayed in with Airbnb. Walter and Thomas (who manages the apartment) communicated clearly and helpfully. Thomas gave us an excellent briefing on arrival, and came to see us off when we departed; it was a real pleasure to meet him. The apartment is wonderfully located, a short and very pleasant walk from the MuseumsQuartier and many other important sites, in a lovely neighborhood with beautiful classical architecture (and don't miss the Jugendstil building right next door!). Lots of restaurants and shops right nearby.
Inside, it's beautiful. The renovation was brilliantly done, providing comfort and beauty. Photos give an excellent sense. (The one of the living room is *exactly* what it looked like in natural light in May.) Kitchen well equipped with everything one needs even if one cooks much more than we did. Real Nespresso maker plus drip coffee pot. Everything was comfortable and worked very well. Walter made a lot of choices that probably cost a lot of money in the renovation, but are wonderful for guests -- such as triple-paned windows that eliminate *all* sound from outside, great for a super-sensitive sleeper like me.
Even the aesthetics are impressive. The décor has an understated elegance. Everything looks great, as in many airbnbs, and everything fits aesthetically (*un*like in even pretty nice airbnbs, where something’s not quite perfect0. but Walter’s apartment has many touches (an Art Deco writing desk in one bedroom, a beautiful mid-century modern sideboard [with old radio inside!]) that add gentle, unobtrusive style. But this didn’t compromise functionality at all, nor did we feel like we had to tip-toe around – parents could be comfortable with young kids running around this place, too!
This is a rare find. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
