The Little Yellow Guest House is a lovely apartment: Spacious and comfortable, and filled with lots of charming touches. (We slept in the clouds, with an angel watching over us; we had Mozart in the shower.)

The living room is just as attractive as it appears in the photos. We loved the large, comfortable sofa and the brilliant over-sized lamp. An interesting collection of pictures, magazines and CDs makes the apartment feel like a home from home.

The bed is very comfortable (although we would have liked firmer pillows). The cloud wallpaper and the angel hanging on the door made us feel the care that Maria had put into making the apartment warm and welcoming.

The shower is amazing, providing jets of water from every angle, and including a radio (so, Mozart in the shower). The kitchen is well-appointed, and there is a large dining table with seating for six. There is an excellent wi-fi connection.

The Little Yellow Guest House is not in the centre of Vienna. We used the number 42 tram to get to the city centre. It took us five to ten minutes to walk to the tram stop, and then about fifteen minutes on the tram. We never had more than five minutes to wait for the tram. The advantage is that the apartment is very quiet and peaceful. It is located on a very quiet, residential street. The only noise we heard was from children playing in the park opposite in the early evening, and even that disappeared when we closed the windows. The bedroom is at the back of the house, looking out on to a private internal courtyard.

Our host, Maria was exceptionally friendly, helpful and informative. Before we arrived, she sent all the information we could possibly need about the apartment, travel connections, and so on. All our communication with her was excellent. She greeted us at the apartment with a bottle of sparkling wine, and a smile, as well as a nice 'Welcome' message on the blackboard in the kitchen. She also provided us with a recommendation for a brilliant restaurant in which to have a birthday dinner. Maria did a great deal to help make our stay in Vienna very enjoyable indeed, and I would highly recommend her apartment.
