My family of three, including our six year old daughter, absolutely loved our stay in Markus' apartments. Even though City Apartment 2 was already reserved the first two nights of our planned stay, Markus graciously offered us to stay in City Apartment 1 downstairs those nights and in City Apartment 2 the remaining five nights. CA1 was perfectly comfortable, beautiful and well-appointed those first nights, and despite the quick turnover, CA2 was fully prepared for us when we moved upstairs. CA2 is every bit as nice as the pictures; if anything, it's cozier. Markus and his wife were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the booking process and our stay, usually responding to emails within just a few minutes.

The apartments are also very well-located - the airport bus is only about 180 meters from the apartment, and the Schwedenplatz U-Bahn and tram station, is only slightly further. Additionally, the Schottenring U-Bahn station has an entrance less than 100 meters from the apartment, meaning three of the four U-Bahn lines serving the Ring, Prater, and Schonbrunn areas can be reached directly, and the fourth can be reached by transfer after only one stop. Several tramway lines also pick up at these stations, including the tourist Ring Tram and the very useful #1 tram.

The Stephansdom and Graben are only about a 10-15 minute walk, or one stop on the U1 line from Schwedenplatz if that's your preference, with the main sites of the Hofburg only a slightly further walk. Finally, about halfway to the Stephansdom is a small (but very popular) ice cream store called Eis Greisler, which has the best ice cream any of us had ever had.

In short, Markus' apartments are absolutely perfect for anyone visiting Vienna, and Markus and his wife are wonderful hosts.
