I am originally from Vienna where I went to school and trained many years ago - so I knew the area would be great. It's old, high-end residential, next to Tuerkenschanzpark (and Sternwartepark) but only 15min by tram to downtown. 10 min to Schoenbrunn /w S-Bahn. But also parking available (thanks!). The new apartment on the top floor of a typical 'Villa' was worth the 50+ steps. Probably the best stocked kitchen I've seen in any rental apartment. Alexander and his girlfriend Naomi were the perfect hosts and accommodated our delayed arrival with grace. Great tips (grocery shopping on Sunday in Vienna) and guides in the apartment, with great view from the little terrace. Loved it.
