My family (two adults and two children) stayed here for almost two weeks. We love the apartment. It is in a perfect location. It is in the third district so it is not in the crowded tourist area. It is on a busy street so you have many bakeries (Vienna’s bakeries/cafe are the best! Open from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM, in fact you will have cafes in every block), restaurants, groceries (billa is a big chain in Vienna. There is a Billa 1 min away from the apartment). The apartment is 2 min walking from U3 and 1 min from BUS 4A and 74A. They will get you to Stephen’s cathedral in about 10 min. Vienna has impressive public transportation system and you only need to wait less than 5 min for the next bus/subway. My kids got used to the public transportation so quickly and they loved riding them.
Here is the amazing part of the location: although it is on a busy street, the apartment opens window to the building courtyard therefore it is extremely quiet.
The apartment has the most efficient setup. When we arrived, there already a king bed and two single beds set up with fresh sheets and homey comforters. Since they are all the low platform beds at the same height, it makes the bedroom a perfect and spacious sleeping place for a family of 4. It also has a large living room and adequate kitchen and bathroom with every thing we needed. Only a washer without a dryer. But drying the cloth on the rack by a window is
extremely efficient (and makes much more sense environmentally) and convenient (I just used the washer at the nights and dried them on the rack. By the noon of next day, they are ready to wear. No need to wait for the dryer).
The building and the apartment are old but with elegance. High ceilings (I feels it is 12 feet), many huge windows with white curtains, patterned wood floor and lovely decoration.
I was concerned it could be hot when the temperature was 35 before arrival. In fact, the apartment was surprisingly comfortable even on these days. All we needed was to keep these amazing window open and we got nice night breeze.
I feel the apartment just like Vienna, relaxing, elegant and with characters. After staying here my husband now is completely convinced this is the kind of apartment we would love to live after kids go to college. We love to come back!
