Excellent location. Excellent host. Excellent accommodations.
Great Promenade is definitely an appropriate name for this excellent location. It's close to everything. We chose it mostly because it was close to underground station, but we ended up walking everywhere. It's only 20 minutes to Michaelerplatz, 15 if you walk fast. And it has a lot of restaurants around, a supermarket a minute away. Although, one day I didn't check my phone when I entered Wasagasse and it led us to Wassergasse, quite a long way out, we ended up getting a taxi back and the guy couldn't understand why we want to go to Wassergasse when we are standing right there. I ended up showing him that we need Wasagasse in 9th district on the phone.
Maria is a gracious and thoughtful host. I forgot to let her know our arrival time and as we got off the plane there was a message on my phone welcoming us to Vienna. She gave us detailed instructions on what to do when we got to the apartment, met us at the door, showed the apartment, and was very accommodating throughout the stay.
The apartment was so much more than we expected: airy, high ceilings, super clean, with comfortable beds. It has a well-appointed kitchen with anything you may need if you decide to cook. Guests have slowly been adding to the reserves. We found cooking oil and vinegar, salt, and other spices in the cupboard and to keep up with other guests we added a bottle of olive oil. We met with our friends who came from Munich and it was nice to have them over and have enough chairs and a large table to accommodate us all. All in all, Great Promenade made our visit to Vienna so much more pleasant.
