Dear Fellow Traveler to the Beautiful City of Vienna,
This review of our stay at Petra's apartment will sound as impossibly complimentary in all aspects.
Yet is was a perfect experience and remains very dear in our hearts, to my spouse Anne and I.
Starting from the very first contact we made with Petra in the process of selecting lodging in Vienna that would be compatible with our intent to attend a few musical events in that city, so well endowed it is with such fare.
Petra was immediately helpful in pointing out the great location of her apartment vis à vis essential performance venues. She also promptly assured us that coming to Vienna via automobile was not the best way to visit the city, even though she did mention that there is a public parking near her apartment. "Fair enough as we say"; of course, thanks to her advice, we ended up traveling to Vienna from Strasbourg by very comfortable train and discovering Vienna's wonderful transportation system.
Back to Petra for a moment: personable, cheerful, ready to be helpful; a super host she is indeed.
And then, there is Petra's apartment!
Very welcoming (with elevator to third floor AND spacious flight of stairs for exercice's sake!), airy, comfortable, cozy, quiet, well lit (large windows) with an actual great sample view of some of Vienna's sturdy multistoried, urban stone architecture: a difficult result to achieve in a busy neighbourhood which could have instead appeared to be cluttered and offering no view at all.
And the apartment's amenities: no shortage of opportunities to marvel at the quality of the available appointments, starting of course with the comfortable bed and linens, continuing with the precise shower's water hot/cold mixing and delivery fixture, and the perfect, complete selection of high quality kitchen amenities: while we went out a lot during our 3 day stay, we could have easily set up temporary household and fixed meals in Petra's kitchen.
Additional impressions gathered from Petra's apartment: the efficiency and effectiveness of the washer/dryer and of the central space heating system - instantly responsive to changes in ambient temperature selection.
Thank you for the great stay, Petra!
