Josef met us at the tram stop and took us on a short walk round the block to point out where the supermarket was and some restaurant recommendations. He also spent time with us when we arrived letting us know how things in the apartment worked and what was available to us. He also had a binder of information for areas of interest that he talked us through, along with a map where he marked off particular places and recommended some places to us. Josef also met us to collect the keys before we left to ensure our stay had been satisfactory. He was also in touch during the week to forewarn us of a alarm testing that was happening across the city so we weren’t concerned when we heard it. Also communication before we arrived was excellent, letting us know the best options of how to get to the apartment from the airport. If this is your first trip to Vienna, or are you aren’t a seasoned traveller or haven’t used Airbnb much - this would be perfect for you as Josef was very helpful.
The apartment was exactly as described as shown in the pictures here. Tap water was lovely and cold to drink! Neighbours quiet. 3rd floor, with lift.
Area was fine, 2 supermarkets less than 5 mins walk away. We ate at a nearby pizza place called Adriano which was really yummy. There is also a hot dog stand about 5 mins away which we ate at - again good. And a bakery (Prindl) about 10 mins walk (open 24 hours) that had lots of choice.
There is a nearby park - Augarten - about 10 mins walk, landscaped and great for a morning stroll.
To get to the centre - say St Stephen’s Cathedral - takes 20-25 mins via tram (to Praterstern) and metro (to Stephansplatz). We liked to stroll (10-15 mins) to Friedensbruke by the canal and then catch the metro to where we were going.
