Description
Hej, we are Helena and Omid :) I, Helena, run an events company together with my brother. Our main work is organizing events for singles but we also have a photobooth and stuff like that.. Most of the time I'm working from home, having sometimes someone over for a meeting ..
Omid is holding workshops all the time about social skills for teenagers/children and also about discrimination. Next to that, he is a football referee.
We love meeting people from different backgrounds, having wine together, and exchanging thoughts and ideas :) And balcony sessions with deep conversations and if people come for a visit :)
We are looking forward to receiving your messages!
*Corona: We are fully vaccinated - would be great if you would be as well.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
What could you learn.. If you like you can get a little insight of building up a start-up in Austria. If you are interested you can visit us at one of our events :) I'm super into photography, so maybe we can do a photoshoot together (always depends on the timetable)
You will experience Vienna from insight ;) Not only because you are living with one of them, you are also located in the heart of Vienna. There are such a plenty of possibilities to go out at night because the flat is really close to drinking areas. I can tell you which sightseeing spots are interesting and some non-touristic spots. Maybe we can go together to some typical vineyard areas of Vienna called "Heurigen" :)
Help
There are so many ways you can help! Feel free to tell what would you like to do. Don't limit yourself on this list :)
- Getting the flat organized, fighting the clutter 😂
- Cooking and cleaning :)
- Any special skill you have :) Eg if you are good in DIY projects :)

Accommodation
The flat consists of a living room, of course, bathroom, toilet, kitchen and three rooms. It's at the eight floor and has a balcony which I love :) The flat is located in the first district of Vienna, so you can reach a lot of stuff very fast. Stations of three subway lines are reached within a five minutes walk. Also, sightseeing can be just done by walking around.
What else ...
We can arrange together a working routine that suits both of us as I'm quite flexible with the time. As you are in the middle of the city, you can easily go around the city by public transportation. In Vienna there is a lot of stuff to see. As I have a lot of experience with touristic visitors I'm happy to give you advice :)

They were clear, concise and welcoming and made my first visit to Vienna a great experience.
My only regret would be that it was too short, I wish we had more time together!

The location is perfect, it is very central, everything is within reach.

This review is long overdue but super necessary! :-)
I stayed with Helena for almost two weeks and I had a great time and experience with her! From the first moment, she made sure I felt welcome and at home and during my stay, I felt like I was spending time with a roommate and settling into a new town. I got to go to one of her events,… read more
