It feels somewhat redundant writing a good review for Stefan as the word is clearly out already- given that he is booked for a lot of 2018.
I even contemplated writing a negative review just to give myself the chance to be able to book with him again in the future!
I have already booked a stay at Stefan's place again for later this year and so feel no such obligation anymore!
I can't recommend this place enough.
The apartment is spacious and has everything you could need. The kitchen is a good size - we stayed for 13 days over the Christmas holiday and were able to prepare everything we needed easily.
The neighbourhood is calm and easy to navigate with plenty of cafes and restaurants less than five minutes walk away. If you are staying a little longer there are two Billas (local well stocked supermarket) within a 5 minute walk.
The centre of Vienna is about 15 minutes walk and a busy shopping street only 10 mins away. There are tram and bus stops on the street providing easy access to anywhere you want to go. There are quite a few stairs to climb (103) but you get used to this and it helps you work off all the great food you will eat during your time in Vienna. We managed it with a pushchair and a toddler every day.
The communication and support we received from Stefan was excellent and he is a great host. We had a question about the washing machine over the holiday and he answered almost immediately.
If you are looking for a place to enjoy the wonders of Vienna, then look no further. This is excellent value for money, ideally located and very comfortable.
