I highly recommend Bettina’s place. The apartment was perfect for our family with three young children. It’s cozy, bright, warm (for the winter), modern and quiet. It has everything for our 3-month stay. The location was excellent. Many supermarkets and bakeries are within 5 minutes on foot. The tram stop is two blocks away and takes 15 minutes to get to the center.
And then there is Bettina. She was extremely friendly and helpful and I wish I could give her 6 stars and a hug (COVID restrictions in place at the time of this review). Bettina and her husband waited for us at the door even when our flight arrived past midnight. She gave our young children toys to play with and installed a safety guard around the fireplace. Whatever we asked for, Bettina would get it for us. I casually mentioned that it would be nice to have a power extension cord. Bettina went out and bought one just for us even after I told her not to! She bought extra activities for the children to play in the courtyard when the lockdowns started. She printed any documents we asked for. She made sure our stay was pleasant and comfortable!
I never felt like a guest during our stay - Bettina made us feel like family. I am so grateful to have found Bettina’s apartment. I will not even bother to look for another place when I return to Vienna.
