Services

or

  • use the paid services of iHouse (http://www.ihouse.at) which include (but are not limited to) a 24-hour shuttle service from the Vienna International Airport, transfer  to your guesthouse and handover of the keys to your apartment directly on the spot.

Private accommodation

Prices for private accommodation are usually higher than for rooms in student residences. Additionally, since landlords generally want to get to know tenants personally, you will have to search for a flat after you arrive in Vienna.

It is not recommended to book a private room from your home country without having a look at the room. Be aware of frauds! >> Do not transfer money to a non-Austrian bank account or do not pay by Western Union/Money Transfer. >> Insist on having a look at the room via video call. Because often owners tell you they are abroad or that Airbnb, Booking.com or vrbo are supposedly responsible for viewing and handling the rental > but this is a sign for fraudulent ads!
