I must change this review.....

I will keep the great comments about the apartment. However, Diana made some seriously false accusation on how I left the apartment. After placing items back in order AND asking her if there was anything needed, she claimed that a cleaning lady would take care of everything.

After stating that I ruined her towels and sheets - she mentions items that I didn't use or check thoroughly before placing aside for washing by the cleaning lady.

Diana needs to make clear upfront what her expectations are for her place. Otherwise, make sure to get a security deposit or do not rent. I already receive a review stating that I left a host's apt tidy. Again, Diana was there for my questions or concerns. However, she did not take initiative to make sure to communicate any expectation she had about the place.

Original review:
Diana's place was fantastic!

When I arrived, Diana showed me how to use fancy and very convenient appliances, offered a bottle of wine, and gave me info on shopping and eating in the local area. The apartment came with some cooking staples too! A quick walk to the U-Bahn and close to so many attractions. I even walked home from the international food festival held near the Rathaus....

I was at the apartment for a conference. The washer and dryer was very handy and easy to use. I also love the apartment's decor. Very nicely done! My favorite was the beautifully deigned bathroom. It offered a relaxing and safe atmosphere after a busy day and all in the heart of Vienna.

The only reason I'm giving the apartment 4/5 was because of a smell from the courtyard on the ground floor. There was a faint smell of trash. Unfortunately, opening up the front windows (Living room areas) can make things a bit noisy. Opening up the courtyard windows (foyer, bedroom and bathroom areas) allowed for fresh air without hearing any street traffic - unfortunately, a less than desired smell from the courtyard lead to the lower rating. The apartment has great windows for sound-proofing against street traffic.

Diana was available for any questions and concerns. I would definitely stay there again...This apartment gave me so many designing tips!
