This apartment is sparkling clean, very well appointed, and chic. The location can’t be beat. In one direction you’ll find all the major sites in central Vienna, and in the other direction there are cool local shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars. There’s a lovely park right around the corner. The apartment has a hip, sleek, modern design. The host who met us and let us in was helpful and kind.
The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5: The bathroom (shower and vanity; toilet room is around the corner in the hall) is separated from bedroom by only a partial curtain. This is problematic if you and your partner are on different schedules. There were days I was up more than a hour earlier than my husband and would have liked to have showered and cleaned up before he got up to save us some time, but the light and sound would have woken him up. Also, the apartment is very warm. Granted, we were there during a heat wave, so it is probably better in cooler weather. But it has a sunny, southern exposure, meaning we had to keep the metal shades down. When traveling, we like to take breaks and relax in the afternoons, but it was a bit uncomfortable there, even with the fans going, and the place felt like a bunker with the shades down. If you stay out all day and only go back to your place to sleep at night, or you’re traveling in cooler weather, then this won’t be a problem for you at all.
Overall, I would recommend this apartment: Wonderful, helpful host; good price; clean and well appointed interior, and an absolutely fantastic location.
