Andrei’s lovely apartment was very large, with very high ceilings and tall windows. Once we sorted out how to work the hot water, all aspects of it functioned well. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed to be comfortable, and we spent quite a bit of time in it just lounging about on the extensive, almost-bed-sized, living-room couches. Despite both the living room and the bedroom looking out over a busy-ish street (Siebensterngasse), the double windows rendered the apartment completely quiet. Andrei was always extremely responsive to our questions; that is, we felt very taken care of.

The Spittleburg neighborhood was a delight to inhabit. You go out the door and are surrounded by numerous sidewalk cafés and shops (we especially recommend the Pizzeria Osteria da Giovanni restaurant, a stone’s throw away on Sigmundsgasse). You walk down the block and are in the MuseumsQuartier. You walk through the MuseumsQuartier and are in Central Vienna. Everything we wanted to see was walkable: aside from taxis inbound from the airport and outbound to the train station, walking was our only form of transportation during the four days we spent in Vienna.

All in all, the apartment was a delight, and we can certainly recommend it.
