This place has its own advantages and disadvantages, but overall that was a nice stay.
So definitely good things are:
- Michael is a good host and we had a really warm welcome with a detailed explanation and a tour of everything in the apartment
- it's really close located to the subway station, so it's literally one minute from house doors to the U6 line entrance, and you will be in the center of the city in 20 minutes. And same for Schönbrunn, which is also really not far away from this place
- there is a market near the house, so you can buy fresh vegetables and bread here. And also there are a lot of nice shops and cafes on the market and in the nearby streets (I recommend visiting "Ignaz & Rosalia", Diwan Backshop and Offerl for tasteful backery)
- the red sofa bed is really comfortable — on one side it's pretty soft and other it's harder — so you can choose what you prefer)
- although there is a market nearby, after around 22:00 it's quiet so no problem with that
But there are some small disadvantages too (but as for this price and taking into count all the advantages they're not real problems)
- the other smaller & gray sofa is not so comfortable for sleeping and it will take up space near the table when you'll unfold it, so you'll need to either have less space for chairs or fold and unfold it each time
- from the photos, you can't really understand it, but the kitchen is actually located in the hallway on the right side, and on the left, you have a bathroom and toilet. The entrance to the living room is between the fridge and dresser for shoes.
- there was a really strange and strong smell in the toilet all the time when were there (one whole week) — it reminded me of a gas smell, but I'm not sure what it was. Michael ensured me that the gas check was a week ago just before we arrived and everything is fine, but specifically, that smell hasn't disappeared anywhere during our stay. Since in any other previous review I don't see any complaints about that I suppose it may be just only my fastidiousness, but it was what it was.
And notes for others just to know
- everything in this apartment is on gas — you have a gas oven, a gas water heater that works every time you turn on hot water, and a gas heater in the living room (kinda like a big metal battery)
- the floor is actually third, because in Vienna 1 floor = 0 floor, so to get to this apartment, you have to go through two twisted flights of stairs
