My boyfriend and I went to Vienna to get cancer treatment for him. As you can imagine, I was frazzled, and not in the best state emotionally, but I had found a landlord I thought that understood the seriousness of our situation. She claimed to have had cancer 7 years prior, and this was one of the reasons we felt secure. We made an arrangement that I should rent the above apartment. I was never told or written the cancellation policy. I booked only 9 days from arrival. I would have had to cancel three months prior, but that was NOT disclosed. This woman, Marianne Waldhausl convinced me that all would work out, even though I decided that this apartment would NOT be good for my boyfriend because he would have to take a bus and two trains to get to the doctor. She did not ask for a deposit, but I wrote to her saying that I would pay her 1 week because I had verbally agreed to three.
Wow. You are not going to believe what happened next. My boyfriend needs oxygen. Marianne knew that, and actually went to the doctor, claimed that we were her tenants, and brought the oxygen to the apartment! How manipulative! After a 10 and a half hour flight, I was exhausted, and we were both made to go to this apartment because the oxygen was there! I paid her 1000 E. But in one hour of being there, and no airconditioning, and NOTHING around (really NOTHING), I thought no. We went to a pension within walking distance of the doctor. I took the owner (or he took me I should say) of the HOTEL CORVINUS, and picked up the oxygen in his car. We never spent the night at Marianne's . Now she refuses to give any of the money back. I know what you are thinking...why did you give the money in the first place? Because I wasn't thinking clearly. Because I am stressed out. I thought yes, of course, she will keep some of the money but ALL? DO NOT RENT FROM HER! I lost 1300 dollars! This woman is a supreme manipulator.
