The warm, personal hospitality of Christiana and her spectacular Loft made this trip to magnificent Vienna even more memorable. First, Christiana is an extraordinarily welcoming and attentive hostess. Even though we arrived early, she personally greeted us, showed us the thoughtfully-created amenities of the Loft and shared her recommendations for enjoying the diverse, trendy, intriguing Neubau neighborhood. The Loft itself is a perfect balance of modern and cozy. Traditional furniture blends seamlessly with the industrial atmosphere to create an environment that is unique as well as comfortable. Some of the highlights included the extremely comfy bed which we wish we had in our own home, the rain shower, and the state-of-the art kitchen. Finally, we simply fell in love with the Neubau neighborhood. Per Christiana's recommendations, we enjoyed authentic cuisine from Turkey, Afghanistan, the Philippines, Greece, Italy, and, of course, traditional Viennese. We felt like such 'locals!' The no. 49 tram, which is literally outside the front door, is just three stops away from the center of the Museum Quartier, the Hofburg, where we experienced Easter High Mass with the Vienna Boys' Choir, and the surrounding museums, cafes, shopping and restaurants. From there, you can easily connect directly to the U-Bahn which will take you to any of Vienna's multitude of splendid offerings. When it came time to leave, we were so pleased we had the opportunity to thank Christiana personally for making our stay in the world's most civilized so exceptional. We have already begun scheming ways we can return to Christiana's Loft!
