Top-floor apartment with co-use of garden, home cinema and optional weekly cleaning
Paul and Evi will be in Cape Town and Bologna from December 2026 until the end of June 2027, and we are letting our own apartment for those seven months. It is the top floor of our house in Pötzleinsdorf, one of the greenest and quietest corners of Vienna, and it is a self-contained home: 80 m2 with its own bathroom and its own kitchen, plus a private balcony of seven square metres.
The apartment
One bedroom, a generous kitchen-living room with an office, a conservatory and a hallway. Air conditioning throughout. Bathroom, kitchen walls and floor, conservatory and balcony are finished in natural stone, the rest is parquet. From the conservatory and the balcony you look out over the rooftops towards our garden, the Kahlenberg hills and the vineyards beyond.
You can arrive with a suitcase and nothing else. Everything below stays in the apartment:
Kitchen: dishwasher, four-plate ceramic hob, oven, espresso machine, milk frother, hand blender, crockery, cutlery and pots
Bathroom: your own washing machine, bathtub and rain shower, two cabinets
Bedroom: bed with linen, wardrobes
Kitchen-living room: sofa, desk, media wall with flat screen, Playstation 4, media server and Dolby Digital 5.1
Conservatory: table, armchair and two rocking chairs
Hallway: several cabinets and a bookshelf
One price, no bills, no surprises
The rent covers heating, electricity, gas, water, sewage, refuse collection, fibre internet, chimney sweep, insurance and the gardener. An additional 150€ wil cover our housekeeper to clean the apartment once a week. There is no annual settlement and no additional payment at the end of your stay. What you see is what you pay.
The house
Your apartment is self-contained, but the rest of the house is open to you: a 400 m2 garden with pergola seating, a gas and a charcoal barbecue and a raised bed for fruit and vegetables, a 30 m2 home cinema with an 8 m2 screen, 4K projector and Dolby Digital sound, a small gym, a laundry room, a bicycle cellar and a Bösendorfer grand piano you are welcome to play.
Four other people live on the floors below. Mark from South Africa is doing a PhD in computer science at TU Wien and dances swing. Sina is a master's student in chemistry who plays guitar and cooks Iranian food. Mathias, 31, is a programmer and guitarist. Svitlana is an artist from Ukraine who works on her projects in the cinema. We speak German and English, along with French, Spanish, Afrikaans, Persian, Russian and Ukrainian. Several of us work from home, so a calm and respectful atmosphere matters here.
Getting around
The house sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Tram 41 is five minutes on foot and takes you to Gersthof in six minutes, to Währinger Straße and the U6 in eleven, and to Schottentor at the edge of the old city in eighteen. Door to city centre in half an hour. Within a few minutes' walk: pharmacy, supermarket, bakery, hairdresser, an organic pizzeria and the Pötzleinsdorf castle park. BOKU university is a twenty-minute walk.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on HousingAnywhere must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without HousingAnywhere is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on HousingAnywhere, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on HousingAnywhere.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on HousingAnywhere from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on HousingAnywhere at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On HousingAnywhere, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact HousingAnywhere customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
