I am not one for the imperial aspects of Vienna. The idea of staying at a grand hotel bores me. I want something more real in the cities I visit. And for others who have the same mind set, who don't want the hoity-toity, Hapburg kind of accommodation, I really appreciate Alexandra's place. I would describe it as a welcoming/cozy/funky palace. The room is super. The bunk bed is cozy and super comfortable. Alexandra supplies plenty of bedding and for the traveler, a separate fridge in the kitchen. The kitchen is open and you are free to use her stove and other things. The bathroom is spacious and again, funky. Alexandra is an artist and her touch is everywhere from the paintings on the wall to the decorations. What I like is there are two toilets so if you are like me, sampling too much Austrian wine and beer you don't have to worry about the bathroom being occupied. But great location. Tram and U-bahn nearby. The Augarten is about a five minute walk which more people should explore. But the accommodation aside, Alexandra was an excellent, welcoming hostess with ready recommendations and I even got a chance to chat with her brother, a drummer when he was dropping by. Great people. I wish I had had more time to chat with them. But in Vienna, there is so much (so much) to do. I guess that's why I keep visiting. But yes, I cannot stress this enough: highly recommended listing. Wonderful stay.
