The high-cealing, old-construction apartment with a very modern interrior design consists of a living room with fully equipped kitchen and two enormous bedrooms, each furnished with an excessively comfortable king-size bed, large screen TV connected to networks, and a very spacious wardrobe. The living room has a nice ethanol-fuelled fireplace (the host provides the ethanol in excess), which creates a very cosy environment while producing no smell or smoke at all. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, a modern coffee machine, a big fridge, a four-burner electric stove, and a lot of elegant tableware and cookware. Coffee, tea selection, and the necessities are provided, including even a plentiful supply of local mineral water. There is a large separate bathroom with a large bath, as well as an additional bath installed directly inside one of the bedrooms. A very handy washer with built-in drying is installed in a separate small room. In addition, along the entire apartment runs a glassed terrace facing an internal courtyard, which may be used for sitting or smoking. There are no windows toward any street.
All the furniture throughout the apartment is new, comfortable, and stylish. The lighting provides a chice of colour and allows regulating its intensity.
In one sentence - this apartment has been desined and constructed as an ideal location for romantic getaway for a young couple, or two friendly couples, or a family with a child or two.
It is so centrally located, that virtually every attraction in the old town may be reached within quarter an hour on foot, so you really don't need a car staying here. If a farer travel is needed - the U-bahn station on Stephansplatz is about 8 minutes walk, and the Mitte/Landstrasse OBB station with direct fast trains to the airport is also about same distance from the apartment.
The host Johann was incredibly kind to us. He met us in person when we arrived, and it was at a very late hour, due to the arrival of our flight. He spent as much time as was needed to explain us everything about the apartment and the appliances. During or 4-night stay, he was always immediately available to address every questuion or request we had. He is also handsome, nice, and speaks perfect English. :) In the end, he also allowed us a few hours of late check-out (it was on Sunday), so that we would not need to pay a storage facility for our laggage, but could go to the airport directly from the apartment.
There are a couple of things that must be noted about the apartment:
It is on the 4th floor, without an elevator. You should be somewhat fit to go up and down every day.
There is a door in the back of the living room that separates the apartment from a staircase leading to a downstairs host's residence. It is locked and is basically for emergency cases only. But it is made of glass, and not thoroughfully insulated. So, when there are any sounds or cooking smells downstairs, you will hear and smell them. In our case, we spend most of the time walking in the city, so it did not ruin or holiday.
