Visited Austria for 7 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $59/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 8/10. Would return.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $99/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.
