What a great find!

The flat apartment is roomy and very clean. It easily accommodates four adults (if two are prepared to sleep in the bunkbeds in the second bedroom), possibly more if the sofa is actually a sofa bed (I never looked). It would also work wonderfully as a base for a family, with enough sleeping space for four children.

Ingela was wonderfully welcoming and offered us good advice on using the flat (washing-machine instructions and kitchen utilities etc) and on how best to get around the city and find local supermarkets etc.

The apartment comes with a cute little courtyard garden at the rear. As the flat is located off an inner courtyard, there's no street noise to disturb you and the neighbouring tenants / visitors are respectfully quiet.

Location wise it couldn't be better for tourists. The Museum Quarter is no more than a five minute stroll away by foot and the Homburg Palaces little more than ten, Stephensdom fifteen.

The area is good (although some might find the graffiti tags around the neighbourhood a little irksome, and occasional dog mess too), but it is a safe area with lots of interesting shops and buildings that add to make you feel you are in the real Vienna and not just the tourist centre.

There are also some very good cafes and restaurants very close by to the apartment, which saves having to head out into the centre of Vienna again on an evening when too tired. I'd recommend Ulrich (http://en.ulrichwien.at) as the best we tasted (although the service is a bit on the slow side).

All in all, ... fantastic!
