John is a great guy (not the guy in the photo...!) and was nice and helpful throughout. The apartment is in an old building and gives a good taste of Viennese living. It is spacious (except for the shower room) and everything is in reasonable order for the price. I would say that the decor is tired and drab, though not unacceptable, and the lighting is poor - fine if you like dim ‘atmospheric’ lighting, but not if you want well-lit surroundings after dusk. There were a few things that could be made better with little effort or expense, for example in the spacious bedroom there was a comfy double bed, a desk, a sofa and a wardrobe, but no table, lamp or plug socket anywhere near the bed. This meant you had to turn the light off at the door and then walk through a dark room to get into bed. An extension lead and small table(s) and lamp(s) would be an easy addition. Overall I enjoyed my stay in this period apartment.
