This was the most beautiful apartment imagineable and pristinely clean! It is in an older building, but has recently been completely renovated. In addition to all new appliances and bathrooms, the floors are beautiful (radiant heat) and the furniture is modern with very clean, European lines - and even includes a leather couch. The apartment is on the top floor with a stunning view of a park from all parts of the apartment. Although it is a studio, it doesn't feel like one because it is divided into a bedroom area, living room and kitchen. It has a cathedral ceiling in the living room and with all the windows has a feeling of spaciousness beyond its actual size. It was the quietest place possible - I never heard a sound from another human being the whole time I was there, even though there were two other apartments on the floor. It is in a very safe, working neighborhood populated mostly by immigrants - a real treat away from "tourist" Vienna. Suzana, the host, could not have been more helpful. Before I arrived, she sent me complete public transportation directions. She met me at the door when I arrived and even came back a couple of days later to show me how to use some of the appliances. All with a smile. I will stay there EVERY time I go to Vienna and have already told many people about it.This is a real winner - I just don't want it to be so overbooked that I can't get in again!!
