Let me start by saying that if the lack of reviews makes you nervous to book this apartment, don’t let it. I cannot say enough great things about Tanja’s flat. When we first searched it on Google Maps Street View, we thought it might have noisy construction going on. I can tell you that as of May 2019, there is no construction surrounding the apartment building. The building is very new and modern. Additionally, windows open from the main living space and the bedroom and are virtually soundproof, so even if a louder crowd happens to wander by this usually quiet street, you won’t hear any of it as long as the windows are closed. Additionally, this building has elevators, so getting to the third floor of the building won’t be a hassle as you arrive and depart with luggage.
We were greeted by Tanja’s parents, Ludwig and Anna. They were wonderful! Both speak limited English, but Ludwig spoke enough to tell us everything we needed to know.
The internet provided in the flat is a public WiFi option called “Freewave” and the connection comes in strong and is highly dependable.
The bedroom is spacious with tons of room for unpacking clothing. If you plan on hanging a lot of garments, I would recommend bringing a few spare hangers. The main living space is very clean and stylish. The bathroom is big and has enough room for toiletries to be placed. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of available outlets to plug in electronics we needed that required power.
We could not have asked for a better location in Vienna. It was a 5 minute walk from the door of the apartment to the orange line (Line U3) Neubaugasse U-Bahn (subway/metro) stop. The Neubaugasse stop is on a street with many stores for shopping and restaurants. Similarly, it was about a 5 minute walk to the green line (Line U4) Kettenbrückengasse. The Kettenbrückengasse stop is right next to Naschmarkt, a very large local market place with fresh food, restaurants, and goods for purchase.
The value of this apartment is very, very good. The location could not be better, and Tanja is helpful and quick to respond through the Airbnb app and through WhatsApp.
Don’t miss out on this gem of a spot if you’re staying in Vienna and want to be centrally located, in a highly walkable part of town, and want to be close to so many of the wonderful sights Vienna has to offer.
