From outside the apartment looks like a run down. After long travel, all I wanted to do was check in and sleep. Unfortunately, you are unable to get into the apartment building without a key. I sat around for 15 minutes ringing the bells on the apartment, but there is no reception. Finally I looked up the reservation on my phone for a phone number (thank goodness I had power left, and international calling. If not....) Good news is that someone answered my call, thinking now maybe he was in the bathroom, no big deal, but actually reception isn't on site. Very nice guy though said, "ohh okay
I'll be there in 10-15 minutes."
When he arrives I'm a little sketched bc, he does the paper work from his car. Sign papers on the hood. He asked for my credit (even though I pre-paid)
Inside the building it looks like a college dorm, stale, long halls. Once in my room it actually wasn't bad. Only crappy part was wifi didn't work.
Positives were, clean, comfy beds. Host was nice. If you're interest is Hallstatt and trying to save a buck, don't. It 30 euro round trip. Apply that money to a place closer to Hallstatt. Trust me
