I stayed at this apartment for seven weeks while I was in Vienna on sabbatical. I couldn't have dreamed up a better place!

The location is perfect: The apartment is a mere block from the U-2 subway line and a short walk from several grocery stores, ATMs, restaurants, cafes, and other shopping. (I'd add that, whatever your budget, you'll find food and shopping within your price range.) Nevertheless, the neighborhood is quiet and safe. The heart of the city is about 15 minutes by subway, if that, and the area is easy to navigate. This was a wonderful base from which to explore Vienna and its surrounding area.

The apartment itself is a spacious studio, beautifully maintained, furnished, and decorated. The bed is comfy and comes with enough blankets for a winter's night. For those who want to do some cooking, there's a stove and oven, a big counter, and ample pots, pans, and utensils. The apartment also has its own washer/dryer unit. Internet access was absolutely reliable. My neighbors were friendly and quiet.

Sigrid herself is a kind, attentive host. She stocked the kitchen with some staples and snacks - helpful since I arrived on a Sunday when most stores were closed. She also left me a map of the city and a detailed list with important locations in the neighborhood. If I had a question, she was easy to reach and was always helpful. Her husband, Steve, is also very friendly.

In short, I cannot recommend this place enough! I will absolutely try to book it next time I visit Vienna.
