My girlfriend and I booked Markus’ Airbnb for its proximity to public transportation, as well as nearby markets, cafes and restaurants. We were blown away by Markus’ attention to the hospitality experience of his guests. Upon request, Markus provided us with a thoughtful list of local shops to check out in the surrounding neighbourhood, and was very communicative throughout the entire check in process. Inside the apartment, Markus has created a homey atmosphere that has the appeal of a spacious North American apartment but with beautiful Viennese touches. He also has a surprisingly extensive library of books and movies to keep you entertained during your downtime (Bourne series was a hit); among the books, some helpful tourist tips for the city and surrounding area. What really caught our attention was the cleanliness of the apartment. The bedding was fresh, the floors were clean, and the bathroom sparkling. While the Pilgramgasse subway station closest to Markus’ place is under construction until January 2020, there’s an extensive bus transportation network that can get you to the next closest subway station to get downtown, which is really just a short walk away. Our trip was a mix of business and pleasure, and it was really nice to know at the end of the day we would return to this beautiful apartment. If you’re looking for a place to stay during your visit to Vienna, look no further. We look forward to returning again in the near future!
