We stayed here a little over three weeks. The neighborhood is mixed and working class, with lots of immigrants and children. The parks are generally filled with kids and not a lot of tourists come to this area. Which makes it great if you want a more authentic picture of how people live in Vienna. There are a lot of ethnic restaurants and stores in the area, and grocery stores (Billa and Spar) are literally only a few minutes away, with a LIDL not more than a 10 minute walk. The U1 subway line is close by, which goes directly downtown, and the tram lines 6 and 11 are even closer. So we were very happy with this location.
We liked the apartment itself. Getting the keys from the lockbox was painless, and the apartment was clean. The living room is pretty big, and was fine for doing exercise. The WiFi was fast, with no problems streaming or surfing. The chairs and couch are comfortable, and the couch is pretty firm. the kitchen is a galley kitchen, and it is along the corridor to the bathroom and the bedroom. The kitchen is fairly well equipped, with utensils, microwave, and Nespresso machine. There is also a two plate electric burner, but we did not use that. The refrigerator is actually in the living room. It has a small freezer, built into the refrigerator. But it kept things frozen. The washer works fine although it is quite small. We just did more loads and it wasn’t a problem. The bedroom is pretty good size, with storage for hanging clothes. There are also lots of hooks, a coatrack, and many horizontal surfaces, which was appreciated. The bed is pretty firm, and will accommodate two people. Some have complained about the bathroom being small. Part of the reason may be that the shower consumes about half of the space, and is actually roomy. The water pressure is excellent, it can get very hot, and we never ran out of hot water (in our experience, this is rare and very welcome!). The toilet is the old overhead tank with pull chain model, which was an interesting novelty. The only issue with the bathroom is the sink. It is way too small and so difficult to do anything without getting water on the floor. But other side there were no issues with the bathroom. As this is an apartment, there is some noise in the hallway and from other tenants sometimes, but it was generally muffled. People are also very good about keeping quiet later at night.
The host, Liya, is very responsive, answers questions promptly and acts quickly to resolve issues. For example, she quickly had a number put on the unit after a late night couple looking for their AirBnB in the building kept trying to open the lockbox on the door. I finally sent them away and I hope they found their unit.
Bottom line, the neighborhood is interesting, the host is great, and the apartment was great overall. We would stay here again.
