We have had five extended stays in Vienna, and this is the place we would return to. It was lovely to meet and get to know Barbara and her family. She was accommodating, responsive, and generous in every way. The flat is within five minutes of the beautiful grounds of Schönbrunn Palace. This made it possible to have sunset walks up to Gloriette with its fabulous views of the city, pleasant morning runs, and visits to the largest and best Christmas market in Vienna for Glühwein and other delights. The flat is also close to one of the most convenient UBahn lines, the U4, which carries you directly into Karlsplatz and Schwedenplatz, from which you easily access all the museums, churches, concert venues and other sites of the city center. Not far in the other direction is the lush greenery of Lainzer Tiergarten on the edge of the Vienna Woods The flat is elegantly furnished, well-equipped, and comfortable even in the winter months. The neighborhood is a very desirable Viennese address, which offers one of Vienna's finest traditional cafes (Dommayer) as well as more hip hangouts like the Nook (with a delicious vegetarian menu and outstanding Kaffee). Everything you need - bio-markets, pharmacies, wineshops, and delicatessens (especially Rumpel in Hietzinger Hauptstrasse, our favortie, with its selection of delicious local chocolates) is close by. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you, Barbara!
