Overall, the apartment suited our needs and we enjoyed our stay. While we didn’t get the chance to meet Estrella and Gerald, we were able to reach them when we had questions and they were friendly and helpful hosts.

The apartment is very well located for the central sights and close to public transportation. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant. There are good restaurants within walking distance. (We particularly liked Garage01 and Cafe Menta, both on the Radetzkyplatz.) We found the apartment clean and the furnishings comfortable though simple. The apartment is located on the ground floor facing the street but the windows are high above the sidewalk. Traffic on the street was minimal.

The rooms were darker and narrower than the photos would suggest. The photo of the bedroom does not show that the left hand side of the bed is right up against the wall, so the person sleeping on the left must be prepared to clamber into and out of bed. The kitchen is not for serious cooking but for breakfast and light meals it was fine.

The main comfort issue we encountered was with nighttime ventilation. The nights were relatively hot while we there but we were uneasy leaving the windows open at night because of security and noise from the street. In any case, there was no possibility of cross-ventilation in the bedroom. Instead we ran a provided fan on low throughout the night to keep the air moving.
