Staying in Judith's cozy apartment was a delightful experience. She welcomed me in like family, yet completely respected my privacy. The apartment was very clean and the bed comfortable. She provided a fridge stocked with various beverages, ground Austrian coffee, bread, butter, and even homemade marmalade!! The front porch of her garden apartment was like a sanctuary, actually making it hard to leave and go sightseeing on occasion. I was in Vienna for a conference at the Austria Center, which was a very easy 10 min walk/subway ride away or just a 20-25 minute walk from her apartment. Numerous options for food and shopping close by. Ideal location for mixing some sightseeing with work.

My favorite thing about Judith's place was just how comfortable I felt there from day one. Aside from changing time zones, little else about my normal daily routine had to change. Access to a private kitchen, making my own coffee, private shower/bathroom, internet, lounge space, just like home...i.e. perfect for a conference where you are constantly "on" all day. The subway line is less than 5 min away and can take you to anywhere you want to go in the City Centre for sightseeing in no time. Judith also provided maps and info for the area. I am so happy that I didn't just go with another generic hotel room.
