Karin K.

I stayed in Karin's apartment for about 33 nights, from mid-May to late June 2026, and it was a really comfortable and enjoyable stay from start to finish.
The apartment is spotlessly clean, well laid out, and genuinely comfortable to live in over a longer period, not just to pass through. It has a lovely balcony where you can hear nightingales singing in the evenings. Since I work remotely, I especially appreciated the proper office table and comfortable office chair, which made a big difference. There's also plenty of storage for clothes, with hangers and space for everything.
All the appliances worked perfectly and were easy to use: washing machine, dishwasher, cooktop, microwave, and fridge (small but enough). The coffee machine was excellent, and beans and capsules were provided. The shower cabin is new, and the electric and water systems all worked without a hitch.
Tanja, Karin's friend who looked after the apartment during my stay, and her daughter Milica, who speaks excellent English, were both incredibly helpful and quick to sort out anything that came up. Communication was easy and reassuring the whole time.
The location in Rennweg is excellent: central but not too residential, safe, quiet, and with peaceful neighbours. It's a 2–3 minute walk to the Oberzellergasse tram stop, with bars and cafés nearby and both a Eurospar and a Lidl within easy walking distance for groceries. You can be at Karlsplatz/Oper or other central spots in about 10–15 minutes. There's a night bus serving the area around the clock, and at weekends the U3 runs too, so from Kardinal-Nagl-Platz it's about a 12-minute walk to the apartment. Belvedere Palace is also very close by.
Overall I can't recommend Karin highly enough as a host, and I'd happily stay here again if I'm ever back in Vienna. Thank you!

Rennweg, in the 3rd district (Landstraße), is a calm, safe and leafy residential area that still feels very central. It sits right next to Belvedere Palace and its gardens, so you have a real landmark on your doorstep, and the streets are quiet and peaceful while still having everything you need day to day — an Interspar/Eurospar and a Lidl within easy walking distance for groceries, plus bars and cafés close by. The transport is excellent: the 71 tram takes you straight into the centre (Schwarzenbergplatz, Karlsplatz/Oper in about 10–15 minutes), there's an S-Bahn station right at Rennweg, the U3 metro is a short walk away at Kardinal-Nagl-Platz, and a night bus runs through the area so you're never stranded late at night. It's a great base — central enough to reach everything quickly, but residential and quiet enough to actually rest.

Belvedere Palace and its gardens are right next to the apartment and well worth a visit. There are good cafés and bars within a couple of minutes' walk along Rennweg itself. One tram stop away on the 71, Café Schwarzenberg is a lovely classic Viennese coffeehouse, and a short ride further into the centre takes you to Café Hawelka — a wonderfully atmospheric old coffeehouse where the Fiaker (strong black coffee with rum and whipped cream) is worth ordering. Café Stein is another solid spot if you want somewhere relaxed to sit for a while.

Awesome polite, high-culture, helpful and warm-hearted person. Was happy to interact with Karin when rented the apartment across the entire rental and living experience

Don't call it pizza, Das Schöneberg, Mocca Brasil Kaffeerösterei (awesome coffee to go!), other you will find yourself )

Very nice location. The washer and dryer are not in-unit, they are on the first floor of the building.

The city center

Everything was spotless, the apartment is very well appointed with all the necessary utensils. Be careful there is a dog next door who can sometimes bark. Karin is a responsive and attentive host

The flat was very quiet.

I booked this studio for 2 weeks and planned to rent it for another few months later this year. Im glad that I booked only for 2 weeks as its not suitable even for short stay, let alone for long term. There are many problems, I will list only few, not to make it too long.
- Bathroom is full of problems. 1. There is no hot water in the sink. I told to the host, she said she will talk to technician. For the rest 2 weeks of my stay, she didnt get back to me. Its clear that this is not new problem and she knew about that before and chose not to fix it. I had to brush my teeth in kichenette sink, which is stuck between curved wall and cabinets, and need to struggle to get in and out. 2. After a week the bathroom lights stopped working. Since the host didnt fix the water and wifi (details below) I didnt even told her. 3. The shower head hanger is broken. It was very annoying to take a shower in dark while you have to hold the shower head in one hand and my soap bottles in other hand as there is no shelf for bottles and cant hang the shower head. And all of this in dark.
On 2 occasions there wasnt enough hot water for a shower. After few minutes I had only cold water. I stayed there alone so its not like someone else took a shower before me and spent all the water.
- Kitchenette - you cant really cook there as there is no air extractor and no window. Its next to front door and windows are on the other side. If you cook, the whole place will be filled with smells and chemicals until it will reach the windows. I planned to cook there but decided not to for that reason , and had to eat outside for the whole stay.
Coffee machine doesnt work. Id be fine if at least there was kettle to make tea. but there isnt. And you cant heat water in the coffee machine since it doesnt work, so you cant make your own hot drinks. I went to closest supermarket every morning to drink there coffee. Not what I planned.

- The host is not helpfull. The biggest example is the wifi. Before I booked I asked her to check the speed, as I need to work remotely. She told me its 150mb download, and if I want she can upgrade it. 150mb is fine for me so I and booked the place. Wifi was 12mb, not 150mb. I told her, only the next day she called the provider and they reset it. It didnt help. Next day I asked her again, her reply was "I spoke with the provider, what else I can do?!". Ive stayed in more than 50 airbnbs in the past 6 years, and when there was wifi problem I always got quick helpfull response from the host. Never got reply "what else I can do?!". Well you should tell the provider to fix it, or to upgrade. Anyway, I was struggling working there and had to switch between wifi and my cellular data. I had to increase my data few times in order to work as I need.

While the location was fine, there are too many problems with this place and host. After I booked, she raised the price by 100eur. It wasnt good value for money with the old price, let alone with the higher one.

Very responsible and reliable
