Alex's top floor flat in Vienna was absolutely perfect. Our flight in was delayde by several hours, but our arrival at the flat was smoothly re-arranged by kind Anita and we were welcomed and let in by charming Alex's mother and little Sissi. The flat is in perfect state, totally equipped, very well organized and full of light, with a superb terrace overlooking Vienna's roofs. Everywhere plenty of room for luggage and people! Opera and city center are just 15 minutes' walking distance and from there everything is just within reach by bus or tram. Do buy Vienna card! Our first day's journeys and discounts on museum entrances paid right away for the cost of the three-day inclusive ticket we had bought. The area around the flat is very quiet and full of young people and families, and we had the impression it is a gay quarter of the town. There are plenty of nice and cozy coffee shops for a substantial, tasty and cheap late-morning breakfast. And in the evening, if you do not feel like walking back to town for your dinner after a whole day walking around and getting lost in quainty Vienna inner city small alleys, just looking at and enjoying its beautiful palace facades, you will find plenty of nice ethnic and local restaurants just around the flat. Do not miss the Bohemia cuisine tavern run by a nice lady just a few streets down Schönbrynnstraße!
