Every window in Elxe's lovely apartment offers views of Vienna, trumped only by the roof-top terrace with its 360 degree outlook. Light, airy and modern the apartment is located in an elegant old building in the atmospheric old Jewish quarter where there are plenty of good bars and restaurants. It is just minutes walk from a lively market and the beautiful sprawling Ausgarten public park (also home of the Porcelain Museum). The apartment is very well placed for exploring; the tram and the U bahn are both at the end of the road providing quick and easy transport everywhere and it’s only about ten minutes walk to the old part of the city. My room was lovely, light and private and there was plenty of pleasant shared space. Everything I needed by way of facilities was provided. Elxe was a welcoming and helpful host giving a fascinating “insider’s” view to the city. My visit to Vienna felt more like spending a few days with a friend than a lone stranger in a new city. I’d definitely recommend to friends and would love a return visit sometime.
