While my husband taught a course at the University, we lived in this apartment for 7 weeks. Sil is a very considerate host and was eager to make sure we were comfortable no matter the challenge - whether we needed a step ladder or an adjustment to the heating system, she was always prompt and resourceful. We came to regard the apartment as our refuge for many reasons - knowing we could rely on Sil to respond to any concern in a very short time; courtyard views; solidly built furnishings and kitchen appliances; ample storage (which starts to matter a great deal when you are living somewhere for 7 weeks AND you are holiday shopping!); incredible convenience (but NO street noise) for daily needs including wonderful neighborhood restaurants and very convenient shopping; tons of towels and a sturdy washing machine; and so much more. But the location was probably the most amazing asset we will miss -- so much fun to stroll across the canal and be in the Inner Stadt. We walked home -- and we learned myriad routes to take, all to good effect --in the evenings from dinner, the opera, or the philharmonic along throughfares or charming alleys, all alive with advent markets, holiday lights, and friendly people. Public transit, including the airport bus, were also VERY convenient. We hated to leave. The one concern we had - which was having to manage with just one bathroom -- proved unimportant because the toilet and shower are in separate rooms, although conveniently adjacent. So that even when we had a guest, we managed easily.
