We were welcomed upon arrival by our hosts' personable and friendly younger son, who showed us around. We met Peter next, who was kind enough to make me a delicious cappuccino and give us some late breakfast the next day. Finally, our schedules coincided and we met Dani, our hostess. They are a charming couple, friendly and open yet unintrusive. We were out and about most of the time, but we did manage to have a few chats here and there. Dani also got us some Viennese bread that we declined to eat on that day, but the gesture was much appreciated!

The room is even more charming than shown in the photos, ample and with plenty of natural light. Both windows open up onto an internal courtyard. We had fresh flowers in our room, plus a decanter and two glasses for the fresh alpine tap water; no need for bottled water here! The apartment is exquisitely quiet, the silence broken only by occasional squeaks of the wood as one treads down the carpeted corridor to the bathroom, which only serves to add character to the place.

The apartment itself is exquisitely decorated; Eastern style furnishings with artsy accents shown off beautifully in ample, high ceilinged rooms. The kitchen, like the bathroom, is modern and functional. Everything was very clean and neat. For people who appreciate attractive surroundings, staying at this apartment is a pleasure.

The neighbourhood is quiet, with plenty of interesting little shops and eateries. It’s about a twenty minute walk to the Museum Quarter, or a couple of minutes by tram; the stop is less than half a minute from the apartment. We found a nice place to enjoy breakfast outside nearby and a super vegetarian burger place (suggested by Dani) down the road.

We’d definitely stay again! : )
