This was a great apartment - and then some. We stayed for a week, during which high temperature records tumbled throughout Europe; so you can imagine how relieved we were to find the air-conditioning well up to the job. Without it we would have been in real trouble. I could award five stars for the air-con alone.
The apartment location is hard to beat. A few steps from the Karlsplatz transport hub and an easy, two minute walk to the wonderful Naschmarkt and Secession building. The museums district and the Karlskirche itself are also very close The underground walkway for the metro system provided cool and shade, when we headed to the main shopping street of Kärntner Strasse. A boon when temperatures reached the high thirty degrees mark.
The apartment itself is modern, clean and provided an extremely comfortable base for a week. Access to the apartment was very easy and instructions on how to reach it were clear and concise. Noise suppression in the apartment, (considering its location), was very, very good indeed.
We had everything we needed for an excellent stay. The Wifi was fast and solid, the TV had a streaming service which gave access to lots of channels (including BBC World). There's a Nespresso coffee machine which, (in my humble opinion), is the best capsule format for coffee. The bathroom is fine, with good water pressure in the shower. My wife was very complimentary about the amount of usable storage space.
So it was a perfect 10? Not quite. The blinds fit in with the modern design aspect of the apartment but they are almost useless when it comes to blocking out light. So as soon as the sun comes up, the apartment is flooded with light. It required the wearing of an eye mask to get back to sleep, if you woke around 4 a.m. This will not be a problem in winter - obviously. Also there were only two large bathroom towels. Good enough for me but my wife had a bit of a moan, as she also likes a smaller towel to dry her hair, after she has showered.
Bottom line? We will be returning to Vienna and will definitely book this apartment again - it really was that good.
