Franzi's apartment was the perfect place for my first trip to Vienna and it made my experience truly unique and memorable. From the moment I pushed open the large wooden doors of the gorgeously refurbished Biedermeier house which gave way to a picturesque courtyard, I knew this place would be special.
The flat is airy and spacious, as well as exceptionally clean. It is located in a quiet neighbourhood yet only a stone's throw away from Vienna's bustling centre. Whilst many of the city's "hotspots" are only a short walk away, the area is well-served by public transport. It was also super easy and quick to get to from the airport.
I couldn't recommend Franzi's place enough. The location is truly hard to beat, it exudes Viennese charm. It is a great place to mingle with the locals and see how the Viennese lead their daily lives. There are 4 supermarkets, some lovely boutiques, an excellent range of typical Viennese cafés, hip eateries and rooftop bars, local candle-lit restaurants and an extensive range of international ones too.
It was such a great place to walk around and people watch. The St. Ulrich quarter, which is just down the street, has fabulous alleyways, passages to get lost in. I could not have wished for a better base, I felt right a home from check-in to check-out.
