Gerhard's apartment is outstanding. The quality of its lay-out, furnishings and fittings is exceptional and far above what you might expect in even the best Airbnb properties. It was a delight to experience the beauty and functionality of such good design.
The rear balcony is a lovely, sunny area to relax and although the school playground right below can be very lively between 10am and 2pm the children's noise was seldom disturbing.
The apartment is very well situated in the 7th district, away from the tourist hordes but within comfortable walking distance of all the central attractions. The area is a very lively one with a local feel and all amenities are readily available.
Contact with Gerhard prior to arrival was excellent and he was always very informative and accommodating. Francesca, who met us at quite a late hour, showed us around and ordered us a very early taxi when we left, was equally as helpful.
If you are looking for an apartment for two in Vienna, I can't imagine a more perfect place to stay.
