Amazing space. Amazing location. Amazing amenities. Amazing overall!
My husband and I stayed at Alice's flat for four nights with another couple. It was a great experience and I cannot recommend this listing more highly.
Despite cold temperatures outdoors, the flat was warm and welcoming. It's been graciously re-done, although maintains a lot of its Alt Bau charm, including beautiful floors and very high ceilings. The common spaces (kitchen, lounge, bathroom, WC) were certainly large enough for the four of us and very comfortable for preparing breakfasts, hanging out and relaxing. There's a TV with a cable package, DVD player and Bose Bluetooth speaker - along with games and books to keep everyone entertained.
The bedrooms are exceptionally spacious and well-appointed. The beds are comfortable and had more than enough bedding. The windows have both sheer curtains and roller blinds - excellent for getting a balance of natural light/darkness and privacy. Both bedrooms have plentiful storage, so it's easy to unpack.
In addition to a fully functional kitchen (glasses, dishes, utensils, linens, pots & pans, toaster, coffee maker, etc.), Alice also supplied us with basics like ground coffee, sugar, fruit and a few Austrian treats. There are more than enough towels and a wonderful supply of extra toiletry items. The flat even had slippers and umbrellas! Alice thought of everything.
Communication with Alice was super smooth and very quick. Although we never met in person, she was lovely and friendly.
The location is about 15 minutes walk from City Hall and just a bit further to the museum district. It's also close to a U-Bahn station and around the corner from a tram stop. Super easy to get around most of Vienna's major sights. Lots of shopping (groceries, clothing, pharmacies, post office) in the neighbourhood - and a nice little beer bar about 50 steps away from the front door.
We were impressed from the moment we walked into Alice's flat - and that impression never left us. An amazing place to stay in Vienna.
