Our stay in Vienna was nothing short of magical and we only wish we could have stayed longer!
Ari was a wonderful host- contact and response was always very swift and very friendly. His instructions for arrival, access and recommendations for places to eat were superb and a great help.
The flat itself is very small but exactly what we needed.
A nice big comfy bed (although the pillows could do with being thicker, or more of them for us), lovely warm and clean, great shower room with nice towels and the addition of a little fridge and nespresso machine was great in the lounge area.
The flat is perfectly located on the U2 and U4 lines of the metro, and a very short walk from the station. We were able to get to Karlsplatz in under 30 minutes daily, and the area is very calm, quiet and felt very safe. We also noticed there is a nearby city bike stop (just by the station)- so you could easily pick up a bike and cycle around town instead of taking the metro.
The flat itself has a nice big TV to watch in bed, some great mood lighting (!) and interesting art. The little lounge was great for 2, although we only really sat there to drink a coffee every morning before going out on our adventures. I think the little TV in the lounge is connected to a DVD player- but we never tried it- not enough time, and we didn't want to miss any of Vienna!
All in all we cant recommend Ari and his flat enough- a great first experience of Air BNB, thanks Ari. We will stay again if we come back- and we aim to, as we feel we only just scratched the surface of a lovely city in a long weekend.
