Staying in Alex’s apartment was possibly our favourite part of visiting Vienna! It’s a gorgeous apartment filled with rich history and lovingly styled to make you feel right at home. The location is outside of the historical city area where a lot of the major sights are (you can get there in around a 20-min car drive for about 15 euros), but we loved being next to the palace and the zoo, both of which were fantastic. Alex was the perfect host and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. If you are planning to visit around public holidays/Christmas, just be aware that most if not all facilities near the apartment will be closed. In the city, supermarkets closed at 2pm on Christmas Eve, so do all of your shopping beforehand. Also, the time travel tour in Vienna was very clever and entertaining! Well worth your time. ;)
