Before we booked, before we arrived in Vienna, and even during our stay, Vita was easy to reach via Airbnb and swift to respond to any question. Beyond the call of duty, her husband met us on our train platform! He walked us to the apt, outlined places on a map, made suggestions, and explained everything in the apartment. He showed us the welcome jar of cookies and welcome tray of dark chocolate.
This apartment is beyond spacious - it’s truly a home away from home. It is decorated tastefully, as if they lived here themselves. Plenty of furniture, even a large desk with paper, a pen, and tape. Airbnb photos do not do it justice. There’s even a balcony just big enough for two to eat. The kitchen has a large refrigerator with full, separate freezer. Vita provides a few spices, oil, tea bags, coffee, and a genuine Nespresso machine. The large bathroom has a rain shower and a washing machine. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and laundry soap are generously provided.
The apartment is very close to the train station, bus, trams, and metro. While we are avid walkers, we got our money’s worth out of a 72-day transportation pass. The apartment is very quiet, and we appreciated the black out curtains. There is a blocks-long pedestrian mall blocks beside / behind the apt with 3 grocery stores within four blocks: Höfer (we know it as Aldi), Billa, and Spar. I definitely recommend these instead of the InterSpar at the train station which was super busy every time we went and inexplicably divided (barricaded) in two with separate checkouts. I wish we had found the pedestrian mall right away.
Vita’s place will spoil you for any other Airbnb! We hated to leave after 5 nights.
