This is a lovely apartment with spacious, light-filled, airy rooms. It has a great location — on a quiet street in the wonderful, stately area of Josefstadt, within walking distance of the city centre. The gorgeous Cafe Florianihof — one of Vienna's most well-preserved 19th-century coffee houses — is just around the corner. It was so nice having such a quiet and peaceful place to return to after a day of sightseeing. I loved the huge windows and parquet floors, the fantastic, huge TV — especially useful on those days when it rained — and the excellent walk-in shower. I was very impressed with Sarmad's speedy communication with us, his welcoming and charming personality, and the helpful tips and apps he suggested to help us enjoy our week in Vienna.
Although I loved the spaciousness of the apartment, I do think a few extra items of furniture and decorative touches here and there might make the space feel a little more homely and welcoming — as it is, it feels rather sparsely furnished. There were also some problems with fixtures and fittings coming loose, and the pillows on the beds were quite uncomfortable. But those small details aside, overall this is a wonderful apartment, and a great base for enjoying this most elegant and charming of cities.
