My partner and I stayed in this conveniently located the apartment four nights. It has a great potential if the owner took more care of it by ensuring at least the following:
a) a good quality bed, including quality linen and pillows
b) a properly working boiler
c) curtains in the living room
d) some decoration in the apartment
Due to the above reasons, the apartment at its current state, looks like a place where no one lives and is in need of refurbishing.
What is more, we could barely sleep on our first night. We discovered that the mattress as well as the bed frame of the bed were worn out and had to be replaced. Needless to say, before booking the apartment we carefully read the online reviews of the previous guests. Some of the guests already reported the bed issue a long time ago. We hoped this issue had been taken care of. However, we were very wrong.
Luckily, the owner, via his intermediary, replaced the mattress and the bed frame the next day, which was very helpful. Although we could barely sleep on our first night due to the bed issue, we were not offered any kind of compensation.
In addition, we had issues with the shower. The water temperature kept on changing every 10 seconds or so from extremely hot to cold. Again, this issue was also mentioned in the older reviews from previous guests. We suspect that this problem is caused by the boiler since the thermostat is out of order.
We hope that the owner will take our as well as other guests' feedback into consideration and take due care of his apartment before welcoming guests.
On a final note, if we were to travel to Vienna again, we would rather look for another accommodation in the same neighbourhood.
