Great place to stay.Fast and easy service!
Exceptional
Our flight was delayed for almost 12 hours and we arrived at night instead of morning time
And while entering the flat we faced with sone difficulties to get in (just we were probably tired to guess simple things, and I wrote and phoned to the owner
He replied at once - texted me and replied by phone even if it was so late
I felt we had 24 hours support and it is very important
We liked the place and would like to come back again
Exceptional
A clean apartment , easy to find. We had no problem.at all.
Good
Very good location : next to Prater, next to the city center, next to the parking slot with an affordable price for 24h.
Nicely equipped apartment where you have all you need for the stay, comfortable sleeping area (with blackout curtains), kitchen where you can cook breakfast (or more if needed), TV, WiFi...
What could be improved: Require a little bit more love to remove minor things :
- more effort in cleaning above average eyesight as it was dusty there;
- the entrance door needs some fix, so it's work won't raise concerns
- some electric wall sockets shall not go out of the wall
- scratched pen if it is teflon can be toxic to use
Good and well-equipped apartment, but could be cleaner
- The location
- The apartment equipment
- The room size
What could be improved: The apartment could have been cleaner. And most of the dishes were dirty.
Good
Apartment size, location, Quiet building, Bed size
What could be improved: TV system not working during all stay, No microwave
