A hidden gem in the heart of Vienna. Want to walk to the Opera? This is your place. This elegant, clean, spacious, safe and classic apartment is perfect. You can open the windows and feel the breeze come in. We loved the clean white decor with art treasures nicely placed. The photos do not do this gorgeous space justice. This historical building gives you a graceful classic feel while providing all the comforts of a lovely hotel.
Our host met us and handed the key and gave us information. It was so nice to be welcomed to Vienna. We were a bit nervous arriving to a new city but felt relieved that if we needed anything there was someone we could reach out to. Suggestions of grocery stores, museums, restaurants... were provided with a little list of flyers of places for us to check out.
The bathroom is adorable. If you are used to Paris or Amsterdam you will fully understand that in these old historical buildings the bathrooms are separated by function. This is very practical, as one person can be taking a shower or brushing their teeth while the other person in another area can use the commode. This is not uncommon in Europe inside these historical homes however this beautiful space is updated with modern plumbing facilities. The shower is amazing! You can relax under the rain shower style water or use the sprayer. The water pressure was fantastic. Everyone who has traveled in hotels or hostels or even your in-laws knows what a frustration it is if you are showering and the water is trickling out. Not here. The water is pressure and temp were divine. There was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, towels, and extra linens. The clean lined modern kitchen is equipped with the best appliances. A great place to make coffee in the mornings. We loved sitting at the little table with the window open behind us and planning our adventure for the day.
The elevator is tiny but this is so much like other European cities we felt like we were across the street from the Louvre. The fourth floor is high enough up to be away from the crowds but close enough to hear the soft clip clop of the horse drawn carriages. We were minutes from a grocery store and a few blocks from our favorite place to eat called Da Capo. If you love Gnocchi you will love Da Capo. If you want something a little more Austrian try Weibels Wirsthaus right next door and easy enough to walk back after a delicious bottle of wine.
We will definitely return on our next visit to Vienna.
