I do not understand all these good reviewes about this room. I have never stayed at such a dirty apartmemt. Who could imagine that an opera singer woman would be so untidy person.
But the location is good enough - 10min from Wien mitte (it is not center, it's west), 20-25 min by walk to St. Stefan, but 3-5 min from Hundertwasser house, so you can deside what is more important for you.
I will explain it point by point.
Check in was well enough. But it looked like we should have came earlier.
We were met by Dominika's friend. We told her the day before that we would come between 14 and 15p.m(in 2 hours after plane arrival) because we wanted to have a snack. And we came at15. But we felt a reproach that we didnt came in an hour after plane arrival and he had to wait us. If we knew that we should come earlier exactly in an hour obviously we would harry on. But In check in we had to justify ourselfs.
The room is not clean. It is very strange. Yes, the towels and bed clothers were okay but the rest of the room did not. The floor was dirty, full of dust. Once we put there a rucksack and it became dusty instantaneously.
A chandelier was full of dust and a dust web, obviously it wasnt cleaned at least for a year or two. A sill was full of dust too.
I am sure that a curtain under the bed was dusty too.
The bed has a round form. It's a bit small for a tall men. Pillows are not very comfortable.
There is no a bucket or box in a room for small trash, you have to use only trash box in a kitchen. But it is not very comfortable when you share it with a host, sometimes it's not very comfortable to get out off the room. In other apartments where I have rented a room, there always have been a trash box inside the room.
There is a hair dryer in a room, but sometimes it overheated.
The heavy dust is not only in guest's room, in a kitchen, toilet, bathroom too. Dominika likes candels and it's everywhere, on every surface, and the candels are in dust, eww..
All the doors are old and noisy, so you can hear when someone enters a bathroom, a toilet or bedroom. And the room is in front of the kitchen, so you can hear everyting.
The toilet is seperated from the bathroom by the kitchen and living room. It's located near by the entrance. And there is no sink. So after the toilet you have go to the bathroom (3 doors) and wash hands (or whatever you need to wash).
The bathroom.
We were told that it is not allowed to leave our towels in a bathroom. We were not provided any shelf or surface for our bath stuff, so we had to take everything away to the room. It was not very comfy. In the other apartments with shared bathroom I was provided a shelf.
It is very strange but the wall between bathroom and the kitchen is not actually the wall. There is a hole between the ceiling and this "wall". So you can hear everything better.
There is no curtain in a bath and we vere asked to take a shower carefully. It was not very easy but not impossible of course.
And again dust. And dirty. Dirty after the krahn. I was surprised that Dominika's container with contact lenses was so dirty, looks like she have never changed or washed it for a year. That is very strange because this containters are provided with every new box with a contact lenses sution(liquid). That explains a lot about cleanliness of the host. And in the hair combs there are a lot of old hairs, like it was not cleaned for months.
We had to a accomodate with Dominika's timing twice during our 5 days staying. So we had to wake up erlarlier in order to use bathroom before 8 a.m. one day and before 9 a.m. the other day.
Communication. We were communicating not too much because most of the time we or she were not at home.
I won't recommend this room, but if you do not care about dirty, seperate toilet and bathroom, and you need only center location, it's not too bad. I suppose you can find more clean apartment for the same price.
P. S. Visit Hundertwasser cafe 5 min from the apartment, it opens at 10a.m. and they have the best apple strudel and sacher cake we have eaten in vienna.
