So there are really good things and some not so good things about this apartment.
Pros
It’s a great location. It’s so close to the Rathaus and central Vienna (like a 15 min walk to the center of the old city and St Stefan’s cathedral). There are loads of super markets and cafes within a couple minutes walk. The apartment itself is very classic feeling. If you love classic apartments, they’re tall ceilings, and their charm, this place has tons of that.
Cons
The apartment could use some updating. The bed is extremely squeaky and doesn’t inspire confidence. The bedding is extremely threadbare. The bathtub/shower is actually somewhat dangerous (the depth of the tub in which you take the shower is significant so older guests beware). The water pressure in the shower tub was a little weak and the hot water doesn’t last terribly long. The amenities in the kitchen were also on the sparse side (things like a set of chefs knives, cutting board, non stick pan, actual bowls are all needed). But everyone doesn’t cook like we did so disregard that complaint if you’re not planning on cooking frequent meals. Finally, they are doing construction in the bldg that is sometimes (just two times during four days was it a problem) loud and the outside street can be loud both at night (bar underneath the bedroom window) and during the day (street noise).
All in all, I think a 4 captures both that which is awesome about this space as well as the downsides.
