I stayed at Zsolt’s family apartment for about three weeks with my sister joining me from Asia to celebrate her 60th birthday. I had been in Vienna for about a week so I needed an early check-in to complete the move. Zsolt was kind enough to accommodate my request. He was out of town so his wife Kitti met me in the building. Kitti gave me a thorough walkthrough of the apartment, explaining to me in detail how the appliances work. Zsolt communicated by message throughout my stay to make sure I had everything I needed, quickly responding to any questions.
The location is quite good, just right around the corner from the busy Mariahilfer Strasse. The museum quarter is 5 minutes by foot and the Hofburg Palace is additional 2 minutes. There is an easy access to U3 too. There are plenty of cafés and restaurants to choose. Denn’s Biomarkt is located on the street level of the same building. All major grocery chains, Billa, Spar, Hofer, and Lidl are within 5-minute walk. Despite the close distance to major shopping area of Vienna, the neighborhood is quiet and you still get a feel for the Viennese lifestyle.
The apartment is very good size, and is on the 1st floor above ground level with elevator. It has an open plan with dining area and living room. There are two bedrooms, one full bathroom and a half bath with toilet and a sink. It is evident that Zsolt and his wife take very good care of the apartment. It is very clean, nicely decorated, furnished with good quality and very comfortable furniture. In fact, the dining chairs are the most comfortable of all fifteen other Airbnb apartments I’ve stayed in the last 12 months. I am short (150 cm) so it is close to non-existent to find a suitable chair with the right height and depth. The kitchen is well stocked, and has a dishwasher, oven, and microwave. The couch and bed are comfortable and firm. Water pressure is good and gets quite hot. Washer is pretty big (8 kg loads). It also has dryer but we didn’t use it. The two drying racks came very handy. WiFi is good, I had no issues with streaming or Zoom meetings.
My sister and I really enjoyed our stay. My sister told me repeatedly how much she likes the convenience and comfort of the apartment. I’d like to thank Zsolt and Kitti for making my sister’s birthday trip to Vienna a memorable experience. She actually did not want to leave.
