This is wonderful apartment near many interesting places in Vienna. The apartment is well maintained and comfortable. The kitchen
has a large array of useful items, including a very good espresso
maker for jet-lagged visitors. The internet connection was fast, there is a nice TV, and the bathroom was fine. There was also ample closet space and a nice dresser for storing clothes.

Christoph was away the week we visited. He arranged for his brother to show us everything we needed to know, and Christoph responded quickly to phone calls. He even offered to find us a cab to the airport when it came time to leave!

One thing to keep in mind is that the apartment is three floors up. The landlord of the building evidently does not allow visitors to use the elevator without being accompanied by a resident. This is useful for working off wiener schnitzel, though it could be a problem for people who have difficulties climbing stairs.

For people new to Vienna, the museum quarter is a short walk from the apartment, and we spent a lot of time there exploring. Be sure to have a look at the large art book store in the museum quarter - it's the best I have found anywhere.

A last tip, discovered by trial and error, is that in Vienna, one may need to add an extra 1 in front of locally listed phone numbers when calling from a U.S. cell phone.
