My biggest problems with this property:
1. bedding was stained with urine or something - could have easily been replaced - digusting, and the couch was old and worn
2.. the air had allergens in it from somewhere that had me coughing 24/7 for my entire stay - outside I didn't have this response, so I assume it must have been from the apartment
3. I was put on the absolute highest floor, and there is no lift, so I had to walk up and down multiple times a day - the laundry room is on the ground floor, as well
4. Management complained about me smoking off the balcony, but being on the top floor, it would have been ridiculous to climb up and down all day when I had work to do
5. The pillow on the bed was literally just a pillowcase filled with pieces of loose foam, and there was only one towel provided for the entire week's stay - there is no onsite office to ask for a towel, and I almost never saw a cleaning person until the last two days of my stay
6. The location is inconvenient - the nearest supermarket or restaurant requires a walk of about ten minutes, which makes buying sufficient amounts of groceries untenable being that they have to be lugged all the way home and up to the top floor of the apartment
7. The staircase is always dark, and sometimes it is difficult to find the light switches - end up ringing doorbells instead of hitting the light switch
To the apartment's credit, it does have plenty of glasses, utensils, and plates. However, the oven smelled of sodium hydroxide oven cleaner and there was no oven pan? I had to line the oven grating with forks to cook my pizza and roasts. Had I put the food directly on the oven grating, I probably would have gotten sick from oven cleaner.
Another good point is that the tram and city train are relatively close to the apartment house.
Aside from this less-than-sufficient apartment, Vienna is a cool city with nice people, so I wouldn't extend this review to the city itself, just the room.
Best Wishes and happy travels everyone,
