Lucia was there to receive us; she was most welcoming and made us feel at home right from the first minute we stepped through her gate. She had given us very clear directions to get to the home, and the useful advice for purchase of the three day travel ticket and not the Vienna pass. Getting to her place from the Vienna Train station was very convenient, and the house is barely a 100 m walk from the U-Bahn stop. Her place is located in a quiet neighbourhood, and the proximity of the U-Bahn gave us great connectivity. The Danube is very close by and its a lovely walk along the banks.
Lucia gave us a good set of tips to go around town. She also recommended some places to eat, as also some good tips about what to pick up at the supermarket nearby. Her garden is well maintained and has so many varieties of flowers, that we wished we could have come a few weeks earlier and see all of them in full bloom. We enjoyed a glass of wine sitting in the open as well.
Her house is just as described, even more comfortable, if I may say so. She keeps the place absolutely sparkling neat, with nicely done beds, fresh towels and a welcome drink of apple syrup that was refreshing in the heat. We enjoyed her Nespresso :-) She had very thoughtfully stocked up the room with all the little things that one may suddenly require on a trip, band-aid, slippers and the like. At the breakfast table she laid out for us, we were treated to very tasty apple sauce and marmalade from berries, all of which she had herself prepared. She was also kind enough to pack some breakfast for us on the last day because we had to leave early.
Lucia is well traveled, and we enjoyed the interaction with her. My wife and I had a most memorable stay there and would definitely recommend her place to anyone. We look forward to staying here again, the next time we're in Vienna.
