Outstanding experience in every aspect. So many good things to say about this place.
1. The location is perfect. I don't say that with any exaggeration. It is less than a 5 minute walk from the Nash Markt (a very historic city market place that is a must see), and perhaps 10min walking from the historic opera house or Museums Quarter. Everything was close, we never used the metro.
Even the neighborhood is great, so many great restaurants and coffee shops right out the door. The owner, Phil, actually owns a very popular Coffee/Bookshop below the apartment that deserves it's own review because it's so good. Also it's across the street from one of the most famous historic coffee houses in Vienna (Cafe Sperl). You seriously cannot find a nicer location.
2. The apartment is huge, with very high ceilings and plenty of space to relax,cook, or rest. It's located in the back of a very historic and charming building that is really like living history, but still maintained beautifully and comfortable to live in.
3. Phil himself is a super friendly, super attentive, and very nice man. Really made us feel at ease and gave us wonderful reccommendaitons. He's been a fixture of the neighborhood, for over a decade and he knows his stuff very well. A great host.
Overall, this totally exceeded my expectations and if (when) I come back to Vienna I'll look to stay there again for sure.
