First let me say Gerrit’s listing is completely accurate and if we had read the listing more carefully we could have made a better informed decision. The apartment was as described and what the pictures showed. It was very clean and well appointed. And in cooler weather our stay would have been COMPLETELY different. Unfortunately, we arrived mid afternoon on a very hot day in Vienna. The fact that we missed in the listing was ‘no air conditioning’!Add to that no functional fans, and we could NOT spend the night.
We are from a very quiet suburban community, this apartment is in ’the city’ and the neighborhood has a significant graffiti problem. With all of the locked doors that you have to traverse to get to the apartment, I’m sure that IF we had stayed we would have been perfectly safe. BUT with the heat the security issue was another straw. Different families have different issues and ours were not compatible with this listing. I have communicated all of this with Gerritt, and he will do his best to deal with these issues.
