Nico’s apartment forms the perfect backdrop to a few days away in one of Europe’s most culturally rich cities. Minimalistic and pure, the space exudes a calm energy and a finely tuned appreciation for aesthetics. Entering the beautiful old building itself is an event, one that is thankfully repeated daily. The neighbourhood too is quiet and untouristic and very close to the exquisite Schönbrunner park (I went there for early morning walks with my 4 month old son, as my fatigued wife got an extra few hours sleep. A memory I will carry with me for the rest of my life). Nico was also a great host and a true gentleman. Really accommodating and keen to make his guests’ stay as pleasant as possible. It was our wonderful 5-day-microcosm- far away from everything noisy, gerish and ostentatious. Hugely recommended.
