I had the good fortune and pleasure to be a resident of Bandgasse for several months during which time I was witness to the exceptional level of care that Christiana took with not just my flat, but all the others. Additionally, I was witness to the transformation of several of the flats from rooms in a pre-1770 building to contemporary living spaces that maintain as much of their original nature as possible. The building is itself a history of Christiana’s family, and bits of that are distributed throughout. The flat was cozy all winter, and comfortable on warm days. The kitchen was supplied with everything one would need or wished you had at home. A walk-in shower, comfy towels and lush robe made it feel like a high-end hotel. Transport by tram anywhere in the city – northern heurige, Prater, Donauinsel, Zentralfriedhof, Belvedere - involves, at most, a single transfer at the Ringstrasse. Alternatively, three stops on the U-bahn (metro) system are 10 minutes away. And within walking distance you have everything from museums to parks to cafes to …. But most of all, you will have Christiana and her exquisite attention to both the quality of her offerings and your enjoyment of her city.
