Frequently Asked Questions
How does check-in work?
You will receive your check-in instructions 2 days before your arrival via email. Check-in is done using either a digital lock or a keybox. All necessary details, including the location and access code, will be included in the instructions. These will be sent via the booking platform you used and, depending on the platform, also by email.
What time can I check in? Is late check-in possible?
You may check in anytime after 15:00. Phone assistance is available until 22:00. If you check in after 22:00, this is at your own risk. Our check-in instructions have been tested over many years; however, if you are unable to check in after 22:00, we cannot take responsibility unless there is a technical issue (see next question).
Where can I park my car?
Unfortunately, we do not offer private parking for our apartments. We recommend using nearby public parking garages at your own cost. Parking options and prices vary by location, and the best current options can usually be found on Google. You are also welcome to message us directly, and we will be happy to share parking garages we can recommend. Please note that in Vienna, street parking is free from Friday night until Monday morning. For the most up-to-date and exact times, please check the official city website. In Villach, parking rules are different; for details, please refer to the local parking information website.
I am not able to open the door. What should I do?
If your apartment has a physical key and keybox, please first check that you are at the correct door. Then insert the key, turn it, and gently pull the door handle toward you at the same time. If your apartment has a digital lock, please make sure you are at the correct apartment door. • If the display shows "Unlocked", you are at the correct door. Turn the locking knob in the correct direction until the door opens. • If the door does not open, you may be turning the lock the wrong way. Turn it further in the opposite direction. Gently pulling the door toward you while turning the lock can help reduce friction. • If the display does not show "Unlocked," you may be at the wrong door, the code may be incorrect, or you may be entering a PIN provided by your booking platform (e.g. Booking.com) instead of your personal door code. Please note: after three incorrect attempts, the lock will temporarily block input. Wait 3–4 minutes before trying again.
Is early check-in possible?
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer early check-in for logistical reasons. Standard check-in is available from 15:00 to 22:00. However, you may store your luggage in the apartment from 13:00.

Is the kitchen fully equipped?

Can I store my luggage?

Is there internet?
Yes, free Wi-Fi is available in every apartment. The network name and password are included in your check-in instructions.

What is the online check-in form?
A link to the online check-in form is sent along with your welcome message. All guests staying in the apartment are required to complete it before arrival. This helps us prepare everything for your stay.
Why do you need my ID/Passport?
We are legally required to verify the identity of all guests, just like hotels do. We handle this process entirely online for your convenience and security.
How safe is the data on the online check-in form?
Your personal data is handled securely and in compliance with GDPR by my-bookings.org. All data is encrypted and only used for the purpose of guest registration.
Is heating or air conditioning available?
All of our apartments have heating. Approximately half of our apartments are also equipped with air conditioning — check your listing for details.
Are there quiet hours?
Yes, quiet hours are observed from 22:00 (10 PM) to 8:00 AM out of respect for neighbors and other guests.
What happens if something is damaged?
Please notify us as soon as possible so we can assess the situation and arrange a repair. Accidents happen — we just ask for honest and timely communication.
How does check-out work?
Please take out the trash, turn off all lights and appliances, close all windows, lock the door, and return the key to the keybox if you have a physical one. Check-out time is 11:00 AM.
