I am giving this apartment a five star rating. I did have one problem that could be relevant for some.
First, this apartment has a lot going for it. It is newly refurbished from top to bottom. Every room in the apartment is new, including the 4 bathrooms (one full, two with sink and shower and one with a toilet). We had six people in our group and there was no waiting for bathrooms at any point. The kitchen is new as well with a new convection stove top. The refrigerator is new and fine as is the oven. Oddly, there is no Microwave oven. That seems like an oversight and may be something that is added later.
There is no dedicated living room, but there is a corner couch in the kitchen (which is a large room) which worked fine for us and seems like a good use of space.
The location is very convenient to the street car line 1. It is a 10 minute walk to the UBahn line 3, but after a while we generally took the street car line 1 to Schwedenplatz and then transferred to one of the UBahn lines there.
The neighborhood is very nice and the apartment is quiet. A grocery store and a pharmacy are down the street. The Hundertwasser Village (sort of a Hundertwasser house junior) is right across the street and there are a number of shops and places to eat in the area.
The problem I had with the apartment was the air conditioning. When it was running it worked great. However, the air automatically turns off at 9:00pm and does not turn on again until 7:00 am. That’s fine most of the time, but when it is hot and humid, like it was this summer, that can make for some very uncomfortable nights. In our case the first night was pretty hot and the humidity in particular made sleeping difficult. However, it cooled down after that and we did not have any problems for the rest of our 8 day stay.
The apartment description does include the air conditioner timing under “house rules.” In my opinion, that is not adequate notice and it should be on the main description, but others may disagree. In any event, I did not see it.
The windows work so opening the windows is an option if it is not humid and if you don’t mind a few bugs
Manfred was very response when I contacted him.
In sum, this is a great apartment and a good price. As long it is not hot or you don’t mind the heat, it’s a great find.
