We stayed at Philips fantastic apartment for a month with our three children. The apartment works great also for a longer stay and especially if you are travelling with children. It is good equipped with everything you need for everyday life like cooking, washing and so on. It looks like the pictures but the atmosphere in the apartment is even better with the high ceiling, the big double doors between the rooms, a beautiful wooden floor and nice furniture. Not too mention the extensive collections of DVDs films and music. Our children (age 1,5, 3 and 5 years old) especially loved all the toys which they never grew tired of. The apartment has a fantastic view over Danube canal overlooking the Prater park with it's s amusement park. Even our Austrian/Vienna friends that came over was impressed by the wide panorama view that allowed you to see as far as to the UN city and beyond. It added to the harmonic atmosphere and gave the apartment a feeling of tranquillity. The road in front of the house (and on the other side of the canal) is pretty trafficked but since the apartment is situated on the fourths floor we never experienced it as a problem. The apartment is very central located and you can easily reached the city enter or the big green park, the Prater by foot. ( ~10min). It's also very close to the "Nordbahnhof" and the "Wien Mitte" station for taking a train or the metro.
Phillip and his lovely two boys picked us up at the tram and showed us the apartment. He has been a fantastic host and help us out a number of times during our stay. Easygoing and always responded directly to our messages and often called back. We highly recommend this apartment and would love to come back some day!
