5 stars all around, this place is simply PERFECT! My husband and I have stayed in over 30 Airbnbs in various cities over the years, and this apartment easily is a top 3 place in our experience. Here’s 5 reasons why:
1) Extremely comfortable and clean: This apartment is in a historic building but has been completely renovated with all new and modern conveniences. The mattresses are nice and thick and brand new bedding. Even the couch was comfortable for a good night sleep! The place is sparkling clean and all amanitas are high quality and very nice stylish brand new furniture
2) Best location! You are in the middle of every major tourist attraction and amazing architecture of beautiful old Vienna. And the U bahn/tram stop is 5 minutes away if you want to go visit the summer castle. Really convenient.
3) Amazing hosts: We had the pleasure of meeting Luca who was a gracious host. He had great suggestions of things to do, including a classical music concert outing and great restaurants. He also was very thoughtful about providing transportation to/from airport for a better fee than taxi/Uber. Also excellent communications with his partner who contacted us with lots of details ahead of time. Luca and Nicolina rank as by far THE BEST HOSTS we’ve ever met through the Airbnb service, no doubts about it.
4) Additional thoughtful touches: Many Airbnbs will provide you with the basics like towels and shower gel. But its the extra touches that set the place apart: They had provided with 6 different shower gels with different scents and one for sensitive skin. This might not seem like a big deal, but it actually sets the place apart. There was also some necessities that you don’t see in other Aibnb-s like paper towels and hand towels in the kitchen, fresh eggs and milk in the fridge and they had even had a welcome gift of Austrian chocolate. Just lovely all around!
5) The place has a cloths washer AND cold air conditioning! WOW! After traveling around Europe this is quite a rare thing and given the heat wave in Europe this summer having A/C is just heavenly and we were able to do laundry (and they even had laundry detergent, again, very rare).
To sum things up, this place is an amazing value! I paid a lot more in other cities for a lot less. What an amazing place! Do yourself a favor and stay here. This apartment is the perfect example of all things that is good about Airbnb. Simply excellent, in every way possible! Bravo to the hosts! And thank you Airbnb for providing the platform for amazing places like this!
