This apartment is beautiful, there is no doubt about it. Very stylish and sparkling clean.
Martin's communication was excellent and he was very helpful and accommodating.
The short break was for my Mum and I, so my Mum had the bedroom (which she loved and found really comfortable) and I had the sofa bed in the lounge. The sofa bed was very creaky, but comfortable, however, we had to leave it set up all of the time (it has a separate mattress, so can not easily be set up and down), so we lost a chunk of the lounge space. Otherwise, we couldn't fault the apartment.
A 'welcome pack' in English would've been great - we only found one in German - and also an account to access the Apple TV would have been a welcome treat, but these are only tiny faults and didn't detract from our overall experience.
The location of the apartment in Vienna is excellent; only a few minutes walk to more central town. If you are going to Vienna for the Christmas markets, as we did, then you should be able to walk to all seven of the main city centre markets which range from being 5 minutes to 25 minutes walk from the apartment.
I also recommend a trip (via Uber or public transport) to the oldest zoo in the world at Schonbrunn if you fancy a little break from the markets.
Top Tip: Bring earplugs if you are easily disturbed by traffic noise! Although the apartment is on a side-street, it's on the very corner of a busier road and being only on the 1st floor the traffic noise does travel, particularly if you need the windows open at all. It quietens down significantly at night, but starts up from about 6am in the morning. Sadly, there were very noisy roadworks taking place right outside the apartment during our stay and the drilling started from about 6:45am. Obviously this can't be helped and is no fault of the apartment owner, it's just worth noting that workmen start the noisy work much earlier than they do in the UK, even when it's still dark outside!
