When we arrived at the door, following Zeno's careful directions, we called Zeno and within a couple of minutes he was there to give us the keys, let us in, and show us around the apartment. He also gave us help in finding his favorite local restaurants and a brief description of how to use public transportation. We were surprised how big the apartment was. It seems bigger than the pictures. The bookshelves add a touch of warmth, the windows all open letting in cross ventilation, the kitchen is small but quite adequate with all the necessary pots pans and utensils, there is a wonderful dining table, and the bedroom has more than adequate closets. The bed is very comfortable. It's quite quiet except for the cooing of the pigeons outside the bedroom window. The bathroom has a largish shower. Oddly, the toilet is in a separate room but that works fine for us. I found the apartment to be spacious, roomy, and very light with all the windows.
The front door of the apartment is about 40 yards from the bus stop for the 2A. That bus line will take you around the western side of the inner ring and then down to KarlsPlatz. About four blocks west you can pick up the tram (S bahn )or the U Bahn. Once you get the hang of the streets everything is close by. It takes only nine minutes to walk to the farthest point on the inner ring road (Opernring). A five minute walk to the hofburg or Saint Stephen's.
Our favorite close by restaurants were Beer Street and Cafe Leto . Our two favorite unexpected experiences:
Having lunch at the Turmcafe on top of the Danube tower and
An early evening dinner at Kronzprins Rudolfshof in Grinzing. That was after visiting the viewing platform and small restaurant at Kahlenberg. Get there during the golden hour with your camera.
Oh, and don't miss the Vivaldi concert on Sunday evening at Karkskirche..
In conclusion, a big shout out to Zeno. He was always accessible and responded immediately to my name messaging through the Airbnb site. That was a big help. I would heartily recommend staying with the Staneks.
