I stayed at one of rooms at Peter Traub’s B&B for 3 nights at the end of August. From the beginning, Peter was very friendly and helpful. He even helped me with carrying my heavy suitcase up to the 5th floor and helped with information on sightseeing. I stayed in the room that’s pictured on the AirB&B website adjacent to the kitchen and the bathroom. Peter rents out several rooms on the 5th floor and also on the 6th floor. Hence, the bathroom is shared with the guests as well as the hosts. However, that was never a problem throughout my stay. The breakfast was also very good, and the location of the apartment is great as it’s not too far from the city centre and train station (3 stops on the tram) and right in the middle of the Museums Quarter.

Unfortunately, my stay was overshadowed by contracting bed bugs (which I reacted allergically to) and bites all over my body. I would like to emphasize though, that this seems to have been an isolated and unfortunate incident. It must have been purely bad luck that the guest before me brought in the bed bugs which then attacked me and that in the end I took the bugs home with me in my luggage and on my clothing. In the meantime, Peter has had the carpet and bed treated, changed the mattress and he hasn’t had any new known bed bug cases. I can’t praise Peter enough on how cooperative he has been so far in terms of communication and compensation and how concerned he has been. He is a very good host and w have been in constant contact since then and even become friends. Nevertheless, I do feel obliged to mention this case and raise general awareness for other travellers about bed bugs as they have become a problem worldwide. And in particular for me it had extreme negative effects in regards to my holiday experience, health, time and financially (not being able to work after returning from my trip and loss of sick leave, medical expenses, and other extra cost.

In summary, I can recommend Peter’s B&B. Peter is a good host and loves meeting people from all over the world.
