  : I liked the location and renovated independent flats
  : We did not like the mattress of the beds, they were not comfortable even for a short stay. Everything else was ok

  : The location was great. I also have to mention, that the manager was very helpful, responsive and getting into the apartment was totally uncomplicated.
  : Well, we payed 832 EUR for 4 nights and for this money I expected something nice. Not 5stars, but nice. We travelled with 4 kids (mostly adolescents) and we came home exhausted. Couldn't sleep for the whole time. The appartment is literally on the street. The entrance to the living room/kitchen is a door on the building at the pedestrian level. The rooms were so hot, we couldnt breathe, I had to to open the windows, which were on the street, we could hear peaple talking next to our heads. Not to mention the cars. Lots of cars. The mattrasses were so soft, it was hard to get up in the morning, specially, because there was no room for getting up, just the bed, but that is an other question. The furniture, walls, floor, are old, used, clouded, run-down. Everithing was basically clean, if you didn't look closely, but what I noticed and definitely didn't like, was that the plates and mugs and cups were not clean, there were stains on them. Oh, and the toilett didn't have the top cover. There were no shades! At least there were not shades, that could make the room dark at night and bright during the day. Also: there was a broken readinglamp above the kids bed. And other thinks like this....Overall: next time we would rather stay at home, than going back.

  : The location was good for us but may not suit everyone. It's a fair walk into the city centre.
  : There was a very strong smell of cigarette smoke, bed sheets were ill-fitting and had holes in and there was nowhere comfortable to sit. We hadn't realised from the description when we booked that this is a ground floor flat which has frosted windows at street level.

  : - a fabulous location on the green metro which allowed easy access to tourist destinations. For example Stephansdom is only a few minutes walk away (next stops/Photos- Naturhistorisches Museum, Haus des Meeres, Zoo...). - the location is very quiet, although close to the centre. - the accommodation provided plenty of space for a family with one small child and a teenager and we found everything we needed in the apartment. - the dealings were clear, understandable, helpful and prompt. - booking reliable, handing over the keys very easy
  : - We were lucky that we could only hear the neighbours one (very early ) morning, although they were not particularly noisy, but it was easy to hear normal noises in the apartment such as doors slamming etc. But out of a total of 4 days and nights it was only one morning, so nothing to complain about either. - Lots of guests praise the mattresses - including my husband :-). However, I myself prefer rather harder ones. The mattresses in the apartment are extremely soft - de facto you sink into them and that may not suit every spine. - I was a bit disappointed by the inability to separate waste - we felt we generated a lot of mixed waste. The negatives are listed more for completeness, they did not play a major role.

  : The location was okay, 2km from city center and near a good club. It was quiet as well.
  : I stayed in this flat for 12 days with my kids. I thought, I would be ok to bear with all the inconveniences down from its old dusty bed, that made all our backs ache because it sank so deeply, old pillows that were so mangled, that we just used our clothes for our heads to lie on, broken fridge that would not even close, dirty bathroom and floor, that you would dare not walking barefooted, massive dust clumps under the bed. Even given all these, I remained calm and convinced myself to settle for what was there, just waiting for the 12th day to come and leave. Yet what made me put everything in writing is the rudeness of the owner. Our flight on the 12th day was still late night, and we asked if we could extend our stay after 1030am till 7pm, bargaining for a discount for the extra charge. But this owner kicked us off after we asked him not to charge us too much for the lost key. He could have said that what we were asking for was not possible, yet he chose to be rude and unpleasant. To the owner, staying in your flat made our days in vienna horrible. You should be considerate enough not charging us much (50 Euros) for a simple lost key, since your flat was no good. Even granting that your price was fair (even if it was not), you could have told this to us politely instead of telling us to leave early and causing us a flight rebooking hassle. Worse, youre too mean to be treating my kids that way. If theres a negative star in rating , I would rate you on that range. Definitely won't recommend!! Stay away from this place.

  : Very nice and communicative host - we prolonged our stay without any troubles. Perfect location for tourists with walking distances to almost everywhere you need. Big and spacious, excellent wifi.
  : The door mechanism is quite complicated. Although the apartment is located on a very quiet street, it does not feel very secure sleeping on the ground floor + less daylight.
