This apartment has lots of pros and a couple of cons. In all, we had a pleasant stay at the apartment in Vienna.
The directions to reach the building were very concise and clear. Once we reached the building, we had some difficulty getting in. Also, we arrived about 3:30, but the apartmentwas not ready for us. We were told we could leave our bags. Luckily, the cleaning lady saw how tired I was, and through gestures assured us we could stay. She went out somewhere and came back a little after 4 to start cleaning. At 5:30, we went out to get dinner while she finished cleaning the apartment.
The apartment is roomy and was clean and neat once the cleaning lady finished. Small issues were dealt with fairly quickly and easily. We enjoyed having the little park out the back windows. It was lovely to listen to the birdsong in the midst of city.
Public transportation was convenient and easy to navigate to city centre and places of interest. The host's recommendations for food were spot on. Nguyen's restaurant was very good, and their Pho Bo just wanted I needed after our travels.
For a "newly renovated" apartment, there were a couple of things I found odd. The stovetop had tape over one burner; I assume because it wasn't working. The control panel on the water heater/heating unit would not stay closed. It had been taped up at one poijt, but the tape had stopped working. These are little things in the overall picture. All in all, it was a clean, comfortable place to use as home base for our visit to Vienna.
