We were two visiting Vienna for 4 days. I know Vienna well, including the area of this one, from previous visits and it seemed very promising. We were not disappointed-it is a real find.
The apartment is nicely furnished with Viennese antiques. Bedroom has a comfortable large bed, the living room has a convertible sofa, also sufficiently comfortable for a stay of a week. The door between the rooms can be closed, with access to each independently via a long wide hallway and the kitchen area. The kitchen is pleasant and well-equipped, also with vintage china and flatware, and it has an antique table that is comfortable for several to sit at (we used it only for breakfast). The bathroom (with toilet in a separate area) is lovely marble and glass with a big shower. The heating (through the floor) was very effective. The apartment is on the ground floor and except for a little step coming through the door from the street, it is flat to get in-ideal for wheelchair or walker access. The windows of the living room and bedroom face the street but there are effective white curtains (for daytime privacy) as well as inside shutters( for nighttime privacy), and anyway the street is very small and quiet. Actually, it is one of the quietest apartments I have ever stayed in. The side of the hallway opposite the rooms has large glass doors to nice terrace with a table, chairs and many potted plants. We admired it but didn't use it (temp. too low).
The neighborhood, Josefstadt, is full of interesting shops, restaurants, and coffee houses. Too many to mention but as an example, the famous cafe Eiles is only 3 minutes by foot.
The hosts Christian and Maurizio were warm and welcoming. We arrive late, around midnight and Christian was immediately at the door to give us two sets of keys and a thorough walk-through. Further, one of us requested a chair or stool suitable for the shower and Christian bought one for us the next day. This was really a great help. Maurizio arranged for reasonably priced cars to pick us up at Vienna Airport and to return us to it. Also, we had a number of contacts with Maurizio via the Home Away messaging system. He was always very fast to respond.
Too conclude: great apartment, great hosts, great area.
